There’s a problem with fools who don’t realize the potential value in uncut diamonds. They tend to get caught up in praising dirty chunks of pyrite-inflected concrete and glorifying petrified pieces of shit, thinking they’ve struck gold.
Those of us who have tried in vain to school the ignorant can only shake our heads, cherish our pocketful of precious stones, and keep it moving. After all, there is little time to waste in this life when there are so many treasures yet to discover.
Capable of producing both gems and a bunch of rubble, our minds are our mines. Be wary of what you present and put on a pedestal. Mind your mine and mind your business.
