Amber has been used in jewelry since antiquity. It is said that the clarity of a piece of amber determines its value. Its usually normal to find pieces of amber but they usually contain impurities.

We all have a certain perspective of life. We all like to believe that we have a crystal clear picture of what we see. Unfortunately, we see what we want. Its the impurities that block out the things that we don't see (perhaps we choose to hide behind the things we do not want to see). If and only if we could see through that crystal clear amber. Lets call a spade a spade and deal with it.

Yesterday a piece of me died. And along with that, a piece of impurity chipped away. I look forward to the day, when all the impurities are chipped away, leaving a crystal clear amber. Maybe, just maybe, this world can be a better place.
