All That Glitters Ain't Gold

"All That Glitters Ain't Gold" 2 - 18"X24" Acrylic on Canvas


The history of human violence over riches is as old as human civilization itself. From the earliest times, humans have fought over resources such as food, water, land, and valuable materials. As societies developed, economic systems emerged that often led to inequality and competition for wealth and power. Wars have been fought over control of valuable commodities such as oil, gold, and precious stones, leading to mass casualties and devastation. Today, economic disparities and competition continue to be a major driver of conflict and violence around the world. While the reasons for violence over riches are complex, they are often rooted in issues of power, control, and the pursuit of wealth.
