Melted glass naturally drops into ice water under the action of gravity, forming tadpole-shaped "glass teardrops", also known as: "Rupert's tears".
The wonderful thing about Rupert's Tears is that its head is very hard and can withstand more than 8 tons of pressure without breaking. It is not even afraid of bullets. But its tail is quite fragile, and it will instantly break into powder with just a pinch.
Because of its magical properties, people use it as a metaphor for love. The significance of Rupert's Tears is that love can be as strong as its head, or as fragile as its tail.
It is very much like love
Love is never lost to parents, nor to a third party, but to one's own unbearable life.
Two people in love were extremely determined at first and vowed to be together for the rest of their lives. Even if the people around them think they are inappropriate or their parents object, they will remain indifferent. Hold each other's hand and keep loving.
But this seemingly indestructible love has its fragility. The two of them can withstand the rumors of people around them, and can withstand the beatings of their parents, but they can only withstand the erosion of the years.
If love is indestructible, then life must be its weakness. Dissatisfaction with life, a little bit of suppression, a little bit of accumulation, until the final explosion. Just like Rupert's tears, he endured huge pressure on his head and went through ups and downs, but in the end he was defeated by his own hands. Because of a trivial matter, it quickly collapsed until it was beyond recognition.
When we envy others’ happy love, do we think that their indestructible love is two people desperately protecting each other? Love without two people working together and protecting it will not last long.
