"Not Everything That Shimmers Is Golden..."












Not everything that shimmers is golden... The materialistic things people have in life, are adored and looked upon as a luxury. Some people in the world don't have these luxuries, nor do they look upon these luxuries as "luxuries." Diamonds have always been seen as a rich asset to have. Some are passed on by ancestors, bought as engagement rings and some are shown off by celebrities. PEOPLE, look at the bigger picture here. As you see above, the diamond is the focal point and everything around it is blurred. WHY? Because i think people have decided to ignore the fact that this one diamond for instance, is the cause of destruction, neglect, and death. Your response might vary... Although these diamonds, don't get me wrong are beautiful... what is beautiful about it if the history of it has caused so much turmoil to one's life?
