There was a princess back in the times
of lords who took for granted what she had. As far as she knew, the only thing
that mattered was the power, wealth, and influence of her country and the strength
of its army. Because of this, she favored laws and political decisions that
enriched her land. When she visited the people, she listened to those who gave
themselves entirely to the kingdom while ignoring those who opposed her
decisions in any way. This princess thought that she was doing the right thing
as she saw her home prosper and her people become wealthy and happy. Her
kingdom became so wealthy their advancements in technology made them appear to
be a kingdom from a future age.
Her view of the world was kept because
of what she chose to ignore and approve of just like any other biased fool. Corruption
slowly began to creep into each and everyone in her kingdom and became
stronger in those who were already corrupt. Even though she would approve of
so-called evils to do good, the princess’s eyes were opened to what she was
really doing after so many cases of corruption and self-abuse came in. She saw
the nobility cause fights and abuse their workers for a set amount of time with
the excuse that they were doing it for the good of the kingdom, and she saw her
people killing themselves with too much work and hating those of other kingdoms
because of their love for their home. There was no way for her to fix the
mistakes that she’s done in any meaningful way as she has stacked the deck
against herself. Her allies weren’t going to change their minds any time soon
either since they were as blind as she was.
Seeing that she had no chance of
making any lasting changes, the princess prayed and cried in penance for so
long that she cried tears of blood that became black tears that made her eyes
dark because of the sorrow and guilt that she felt. Then a Divine Queen from
Heaven heard her pleas and interceded on her behalf to help her make her
penance even truer. This lady of sorrows. This queen who was more mother than ruler
undid the knots of evil that strangled the princess’s heart. The princess was
then given a way to open the minds of the guilty as the skies pour rain wherever
she walks. This is no ordinary rain as it can find its way into any building
and melts corrupted possessions as if the rain were a burning acid. When the
rain fell on the guilty, they realized their faults and cried uncontrollably
even if they didn’t repent. Some would even cry their eyes out and become
blind.
Not much is known about the princess’s kingdom
from then on either than them becoming more charitable for a time then disappearing
as if they didn’t exist. It is said that those of the kingdom threw away their
possessions and offered up the rest to Heaven. This would explain the very few
pieces of physical evidence left of the kingdom. In the present day, this tale
of the Princess of Sorrows has spread among royalty and peasants alike. It is
even said that those afflicted by sorrow and blinded by greed are visited by a princess
who is dressed in black, with black eyes, and crying black tears while a harsh
rainstorm plagues their lands. This princess will comfort them in their
afflictions and opens the eyes of the guilty with her tears just like the mother
that inspired her.
So when you see it rain and the
storms of your life shake you to the core, realize that the angels of Heaven
are crying for you and a caring mother is not too far away to aid you. For those
who are dealing with corrupted individuals and those who are themselves blind
to their sins, realize that you are never too far away from redemption and a
helping hand that will guide you from Hell to Heaven.
The End
