A rare gem is hard to find. You can try to find it all over the place, but you would be futile. In fact, most of the time, that rare gem has always been so near you that you will miss it altogether. We all try so very hard to reach the end of the world to get to that rare gem, but, we were all deceived.
For example, you travelled 10,000 miles to a new city. You were lost, so you asked for direction from a gal. The gal gave you very good directions and advice. You felt so connected. Both of you then had a good chat and the spring was in the air. But, if she told you she is 80 yo, you will feel fate is playing your backside. If she said she is only 18 yo, you will feel god has made it happened. To her, she was just doing her own things at her own playground. Nothing unusual. To you, it was 10,000 miles away. You felt fate must have played a part. Putting it the other way round, you were old and boring doing your piece of shit in your own backyard. A gal approached you for direction. You will feel good if she is 18 yo and not 80 yo. So ... please don't be so naive, and pretend that fate does play a part. It is all in your silly mind.
To say that there is no such thing as a rare gem, it is also not wrong. To say that there is, it is indeed not correct.
A gem is rare only if you try to reach it by illicit means. If you have employed honesty, the rare gem will come seeking you.
A friend once asked me, "Why don't I look further east to seek my fortune amongst the natives. These natives are honest and will not try to play the city game on me." I smiled. It was very wise words spoken by a young lad.
A blood relation asked me, "If an old fucken airport could hold a thousand people per acre and each would contribute a dollar every day to you, my old wise one, wouldn't you have no worries for the rest of your life?" I smiled too. He is smart in doing his math, with a very speedy sword. I asked him to listen to the sound of nature. If the animals and plants said that it is time, then he may develop the land for higher use. Never get excited over sounds made by man, especially that silly fucken old guy.
