This connection and
I were talking on so many subjects and this one happened to come in. We were
talking about if one would become married again. I found it interesting and so
true; we are bombarded by so many advertisements that strongly signifies something
and to change our thinking habits. Only
half of them truly do what they are meant to do. Remember, advertising sells items!

The Interview
“Hey, you know what else happen when you get
married? You got to get a stupid
ring. The Jews have made us believe the
diamond was so great.”
I’m not asking for a diamond. I want a black pearl ring
with tiny diamonds around it. Diamonds
are not a sign of lasting love.
“They make you believe you got to buy that stuff.”
I know…all advertisements do.
Conclusion
I did happen to
receive a round diamond ring with the first engagement and marriage. And in noticing the marriages of so many
other couples today fall apart and divorce; I do not see that the diamond lasts
forever. So, actually to me it is no longer symbolic to love and happiness; or
to even seal the commitment/covenant when you are saying your marriage vows.
If I am given the
opportunity for a 2nd chance of life, for happiness to surround me
with love, honor and respect…I don’t intend to have an all diamond ring…I will
replace it for another type of gem, the pearl…that sparkles with tiny diamonds.
