I would not discount the usefulness of jewelry. With them, you can buy the affection of your wife, your daughter-in-law, grand children, etc.. . Heirlooms tie people together through the generations.[/quote]
Why would you want to buy somebody’s affection? Why would you want the affection of somebody whose affection could be bought? Why would you want affection that was really for a diamond and not for you?[/quote]
Sometimes it’s necessary. Not necessarily a diamond but something expensive.. Let’s say your wife stood by you when your were poor. Now that you’re rich you have to reward her. My neighbor in Vegas bought his wife a Bentley. We went to dinner and she said she chose him because she always knew that he would make it. She saw the enterpreneurial spirit in the young man who was wooing her.
I don’t think good looks and personality are enough. You need a job and income to buy things.
Or let’s say your son married someone who didn’t like you. You may wish you had an heirloom to pass down to her to buy her loyalty. Someone has to buy that jewelry at one point.[/quote]
Once again, shaking my head. No item could make me like someone that I wouldn’t otherwise. I think you need to go back to your home planet, Brian.
