Princess Luna reveals a truth to Spike that a dragon's nature wholly pertains to greed and coveting shiny objects. Never have dragons been known to be caring and/or yielding albeit at only one time in the past. Rarity's giving personality presents itself in many ways by unconditionally helping friends. However, there comes a time when an important decision needs to be made. This decision is better known as the ultimate act of generosity—giving away one's self. Luna has made it clear that Spike's intended relationship is detrimental to Rarity's future. Will (or should) he let her go?

Only Generosity's true nature will dictate the outcome.

Lyrics in the story are from Megaphoric's song, The Diamond because the song is awesome and contains one of THE most powerful messages about greed, envy, and generosity!
