Not all that glitters is gold … I painted this picture with gold paint, but conveyed in it the sadness of the last shine of autumn. The whole forest is still bathed in the gold of the sun and foliage, but now only bare trunks will remain, and the gold will fall off and cover the tree's roots, gradually turning into a dark brown layer of decaying mass. It's no less important for the life of the forest, but it's not so beautiful and attractive as to make it main character of the picture. But without this sad event there will be no spring joy of awakening, no flowering, no renewal of life. So the question is, is it gold or not? In my opinion, yes. Real feelings and emotions cannot be bought with gold, they cannot replace sincerity, kindness and friendship, no matter how big your garden is, it will not sprout on it if you did not planned the seeds and cherish them. So it is in the soul, only the seeds of love and understanding will evoke a response. Gold in your pocket gives you strength, and gold instead of a heart empties you, because apart from it you no longer value anything. Appreciate each other, but don't appraise. The most expensive things are not for sale, you cannot attach a price tag to it to show off. They must be treasured as they are very easy to lose and very difficult to recover.
