Glitter of a diamond comes from a harmony of three kinds of lights.
One is a light from reflection by cut surface. It is the same kind of reflection you can see with mirrors.
Second one is called scintillation, which happens when light sources move; this case they are our eyes and diamond itself,
The other one is called fire. This light sparkles with all the colors of the rainbow when internal reflection happens.
We can see the glitters due to the strong emission of these three lights at the same time. When the lights are stronger, brighter, and well balanced, the glitter becomes more beautiful. I often liken this action to music. Good music has good rhythm, melody, and harmony which move people’s heart.
I wonder if this is the same when we talk about people’s character. Because when a person shines in her/his life, I believe that the light comes from one’s wisdom, dignity, and behavior.
