Utopians also observe that citizens of other countries have a fixation for gems and precious stones and that they experience great pleasure if they can buy an extraordinary one and even greater pleasure if it is a very sought after guy. The jeweler who sells a gem must swear that it is authentic, even if a fleeting glance would not be able to distinguish whether it is a counterfeit or a real one. Utopians also find that those who take pleasure in accumulating wealth with no other purpose than to possess it are succumbing to a false sense of joy. Consequently, it is equally reprehensible to hide one's fortune for fear of losing it, which prevents it from being useful both to the individual and to the rest of humanity (More 80). In their own nation, utopians reversed the veneration of precious metals such as gold and silver so as not to inspire jealousy in people and not sacrifice the public interest for their own private needs. They eat and drink from clay or glass containers and make chamber pots and other containers used for unsavory purposes in public halls and private residences from gold or silver. They also make the chains that slaves wear, which are a symbol of infamy, be made of gold or silver. The utopians find pearls on the sea, diamonds and carbuncles on their rocks, but they do not go looking for them. If by chance they find them, they polish them and give them to their children to wear and when they grow up and see that other children no longer wear such trinkets they willingly give them up, because they would be ashamed to continue using them because they are nothing more than toys (Mor.. . half of paper... savor them). Through the publication of Utopia, More wanted to provoke a reflection in European society on the state of things and how broken and misguided they are. they were. Through the lens of the island culture of Utopia, Thomas More reconciles the tension between pleasure and Christianity that is seen in the contemporary Christian and that by linking the notions together one can create a system that is superior to people who exist contrary to religion who are filled of greed and excessive consumption, as well as the pitfalls that come from following religious doctrines, which lead to rigid regimes and denial of the body. The Più delinea system allows individuals to lead happy and fulfilling lives at the same time as acting conscientiously towards other citizens in order to create a better society than the current one.
