All things have an inherent value that is created by the people who see that item, and its just that, a construct of humans and it really means nothing to anything. For example let’s say I pick up a pebble off the ground and show it to you and somehow convince you that it has some inherent worth. Not that it is anything but a pebble, but by my actions I somehow gave value to that single pebble that was just [Ordinary]...... Ahh I get your point that this ‘Pebble’ couldn't possibly be worth the amount that I am quoting to you, but believe me when I say that it is not the glittering and the fabulous that always give profit to a collector, it is the underrated, unrecognized and under appreciated things that are truly game-changing, and you being the great connoisseur of valuable artifacts, absolutely need this great pebble that was once held by an Aztec God. Wouldn't it just kill you if some other intelligent collector came along and somehow recognized this pebble for what it’s worth and you as a result of your hesitation lost out on such a great deal to buy this pebble.
However, worry not as I being the wonderfully generous person that I am would graciously sell it to you for the low price of only $100, because after all to the eyes of the uninitiated, It’s only a pebble no matter how one looks at it. BUT it’s a historical pebble nonetheless, so you buy it from me for that low, low price and then you get home and you realize what you just did.
This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.
You bought a [Pebble]! You can hardly believe your eyes, how? How is it possible that you, being the discerning and intelligent person that you are, got tricked into buying a pebble?
Well you would be correct in worrying about yourself, since in all honesty, there should be no way for you to be able to be tricked into buying a pebble for any amount of money.
But the kicker being that you were indeed tricked into buying that pebble.
You see there are things in this world that most people don’t understand or have no real explanation for, absurdities that follow no logic, such as stories of people being able to control fire as if it was part of their body, or metal objects being attracted to people’s skin, someone having sub par intelligence one day and suddenly becoming a genius overnight. Or even people buying pebbles for absurd amounts of money.
What if I told you that there was a reason for all these things?
….Would you believe me if I told you?
