Gold in my personal opinion is a symbolism of wealth and success. However, it is a precious metal that has its downside; gold can be as sweet as sugar but deadly like poison. Gold is simply gold but it’s value to us has much more worth than life and health. Gold can blind us and we can start to loose our health to gain more or we can risk the health of others in order to obtain more gold and many even go to extreme extends that end their life or the life of others for gold. It is because of gold that people have wars, rivalry, and ego centric desires.
