Mechanisms of coercion

Apparently harps are very expensive to buy. Unless they’re just some sort of toy. Of course they’re probably a good investment, for they age well, like violins and wine, if you take good care. Trumpets though, they’re a different thing. They tend to lose their pitch over time. But what’s material value when apposed to sentiment? And people collect all sorts of things that are not considered valuable until one day someone says they are. Abstract concepts apparently are imagined to make the world go round. But really that is only a medium through which to get the desired result. .So then, one harp will be smashed to obtain another. Thus the concept kills another version of what it seeks to obtain.
