It doesnt. Neither does silver, unless they are fake/alloys. It's a metaphor about how wealth is fleeting and that material wealth is not true wealth.

Silver does still tarnish when it exposed to atmospheric sulfur though.

Yeah but it can be polished, it doesn't corrode like flesh rots or how moths eat the clothes which are the images the author is going with.

Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
