The “Hope” diamond alleged curse? Easy. People who are that rich and would pay that much for a shiny rock are greed-heads, who worship money and other tokens of wealth as though they were gods. Pure idolatry in the Judeo-Christian-Muslim tradition and for that matter every other tradition. They spend their lives in pursuit of more more more. Greed Kills, indeed. But it kills slowly and painfully. Some say that heaven and hell are within your own life. And then… what of the perpetrators and perpetuators of this hoax? Hmmm… could it be a second set of Greed Heads who hope, all the time, that they can get the price lowered so they, personally, can buy it?
See above. Greed Kills. Shaming them would make no difference. They have no shame.
