Answer 1

Diamond will leave a scratch on any type of stone since it's the hardest kind of stone. Character is likened to a diamond since character makes an impression on everybody and leaves its mark. It's the same as having good manners when people around you are being rude or thoughtless. People notice this and it leaves an impression.

Answer 2

first of all, a diamond's characteristics are usually positive; rare, beautiful, high in demand, low in supply, strong....

yes, it's strength does scratch every stone.... therefore, we need to make sure Our character is a Good thing. whether we will or not scratch is not in discussion; it IS going to scratch. now, if it is in a good way or bad way is the Question. :)

let's hope all of us would like to impart good, positive, healthy things for ourselves and eachother, not a scratch of negativity, sadness, hurt, anger, or disappointment.

Answer 3
