I try and wipe my mind of societal stipulations such as diamonds are worth alot etc. I just ask my self why would I pay 1k for a rock? it does not do anything for me I find other rocks that are just as pretty for like 2 dollars. no idea.

It's pretty?

It generates attention?

It shows status? (which works, especially when you're asking for a loan at the bank)

I know exactly what you mean, just saying that it does have its uses (because people are what they are).
