My son, there are people in the world who have nothing to offer,
and so they try to convince everyone that everything is of equal value.
Why do they do that father, what do they hope to gain?
My son, devaluing everything by saying this is no different than that,
and that one is the same as any other, they raise the value of what
they have to offer.
What should we do father?
My son, a wise man will continue to recognize that an ounces of bird
droppings is not the same as an ounce of gold, no matter how
loud someone may shout that they are.
But father, what of the ones who believe it is true?
Ah my son. Those are the ones who have no gold!

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
