Bling. The other, dark side.

I do not wear jewelry, not even a watch. So the term “bling” is something I simply do not relate to. I know that all that “ice” and platinum is some sort of statement to show off status, but I just think the inner can radiate more than all that.

Ice, diamonds… Kanye West brought it already to our attention: Conflict Diamonds from Sierra Leone, blood diamonds. The stones that provide the money that keeps the killing going on. I knew the story, knew some of the history. But the visual always says more.

For those not familiar with the term ‘conflict’- or ‘blood’-diamonds, please check this site and watch the movie by Kareem Edouard. Yes, violent graphics, but these are facts that have to be known.

Peace out, support the Inner Beauty Movement.
