A Gem Or A Stone
Chapter 9
Have you ever discovered an unusual gem in the shape of a stone that is worth millions of dollars? Not all gems are valuable until they are demanded.
Have you ever discovered an unusual gem in coal mining? No, I was never the gem, but the coal; the world was like mining, and most of the gems were thrown away without inspection simply because they refused to watch.
Who determines value and demand?
Those people with purchasing power? or those who could never afford it?
The value of a gem increases when it is discovered in a specific location; when stones are found everywhere, they have no value.
That's how the world works. We're all like stones, and we need to carve ourselves to increase our value and demand, which will set us apart from others. That was something my father used to say to me.
My father was the closest to me; he was my mother, brother, sister, and everything. I'd never been able to attach to anyone else after losing him.
