Diamonds aren't rare.

They're simply compressed clumps of crude coal,

refined and jazzed up by the Earth

to create something beautiful.


Despite this, diamonds are glorified.

Yes, they are mesmerizing little jewels,

but by no means are they uncommon.


No, we simply pretend they are.

We tell all of the little crystals

and rocks and minerals

that "You can't be a diamond!

diamonds are too

Rare!"


Meanwhile, all the little crystals

and minerals

and rocks

are,

for the most part,

just like diamonds.

They may not all be as beautiful,

or hypnotic,

but they're not . . .

 . . .y'know . . .

Bum-f*ck ugly.


They're still beautiful.


and yet

they still worship 

and admire

The Diamonds.


They always

Always

seem to forget

that


Diamonds areN't Rare.
