    Pressure turns coal into diamond - My Indian father taught me

    I don’t believe it applies to humans now tho. I believe it comes from poor people trying to justify their hardships.

      “Pressure creates diamonds, yes, but it also creates rubble.”

      I like your analysis. It feels more optimistic than the idea of an upper class foisting it on us to have us work harder and question less. Though I suppose they’re not necessarily mutually exclusive things.
