I sometimes muse about how "we" humans like pretty colors and water falls. I include me in that.
My wife likes jewelry. I kid her that she has no more room for more of it. What is the point of so much jewelry? She's already married. I wear a wedding ring, and a watch. I do try and be semi-presentable in public. She could wear the same stuff day after day and I'd not notice, nor would anyone else.
If I see some woman with some huge rock I think she's just flaunting it for some kind of status. We go to an occasional dinner with symphony donors and some of them do this of course, I know they are generally wealthy. I don't care about their "status" one bit. The men I've had occasion to chat with are usually MDs or lawyers. Fine with me. I just say I'm retired and leave it at that, unless they persist.
Why does a 60+ year old retired human worry about status? Rhetorical, and I digress.
