There are many songs that say it, but it still holds true that diamonds are forever. Before i get to the meat and potatoes of this post, let me hit you with the appetizers. Diamonds are naturally formed over a long period of time, in conditions of the highest heat and pressure. Diamonds are known as the hardest substance on earth, they are used in some industrial applications to cut and and polish. Because of their hardness an rigid nature, very few impurities can contaminate the diamond, the few that do contaminate the diamond only help to make it more awe inspiring, by changing its color. That is where you get your blue, yellow, and red diamonds. Now the process used to naturally create diamonds, can be duplicated to create synthetic diamonds such as cubic zirconium or silicon carbide. But it takes special techniques to see the difference between the real deal and the fake.
Now what is the point of this post you ask? simple women are like diamonds, they are precious and of high value. No woman starts out as a diamond though, just like no diamond starts out as a diamond. Most of the diamonds i know in my personal life, have been through hell and have had the weight of the world on their shoulders, but they never buckled and they never wavered. They stood their ground and kept on to their goal. They have been through the heartbreaks and the disappointments, but they never let it ruin them they never let it break their spirit. They held on to the faith and hope that there is something/someone out there for them. These are the women that stand by their men and their convictions and beliefs. The impurities you attempt to contaminate them with only serve to make them more beautiful in the eyes of those that want them.
Now for those synthetic diamonds and those cubic zirconium, now if this is what you as a man can afford, or this is what your into then by all means feel free, but be warned, these will not last as long as the real thing. Over time they will lose their luster, and their flaws will become more and more apparent over time, they may also break in the right conditions.
Please don't think this post is aimed at the women, because men we need to learn the difference between the real diamonds and the fake shit. It takes a keen eye and someone who understands the special technique used to tell the difference. At first glance you wont notice the difference, it wont be until you get into the close and deep inspections that you will begin to tell which is real and which is fake. Don't be fooled by the fake shit, and if you do get fooled by it, then that should be your cue to learn how to tell the difference. No jewelery dealer in the world would let you sell them fake shit. in fact if you tried they would probable ban you from their store.
The moral of this story is this. Women be of true value and worth, so that when a man comes along that sees you for what you are he will appreciate your true value. Men know the true value of the women in your lives, don't pass up a diamond for a cubic zirconium.
Well said. You totally put it all in perspective.
