On the vanity of human desire

[shake_the_stars]

Dear self,

You cannot afford about ninety percent of the jewelry you are looking at.

In fact, you will never be able to afford about ninety percent of the jewelry you are looking at, unless you
a.) become what you hate and get a job that will assure you of a hefty salary, even if it doesn't ensure much in the way of intellectual fulfillment or entertainment
b.) become what you hate and allow a very rich man to keep you
or
c.) win the lottery, which would require you to start playing.

Give it up and go home.

Love,
Lee
