in the past .. you were afraid to put it on display .. for the whole world to see .. you wanted to put it on display .. god knows you did .. more than anything else .. but you never did .. and not because you thought it was worthless .. but because you were afraid nobody would buy it .. the thought was too depressing .. and so it remained in the back of the store .. nobody aware that it existed .. but it wasn't collecting dust .. at night after you closed shop .. you would take it out and polish it .. then you would put it back .. then one day .. someone saw it .. what's that they asked you .. oh that it's nothing you replied .. but they insisted on seeing it .. you showed them reluctantly .. and they loved it .. soon people were coming from all over the city just to see it .. how much they would ask .. and you would tell them that it's not for sale .. it didn't matter what they were willing to pay .. no amount of money was going to convince you to part with it .. but just knowing that people were willing to buy it .. that was good enough for you ..
