All that glitters is not gold is actually – “All that glisters is not gold” William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice, act II, scene 7.
If Shakespeare was still alive, he would be very upset with this typical corruption. But this begs the question whether such corruptions are necessarily a bad thing?
When things change or get ‘corrupted’ to something else or go ‘viral’ after, it actually makes it a good thing instead. But no one can predict which corruptions are actually useful, and which are not.
The only thing certain in life are death and taxes, and all else requires taking risks. So I’ll leave it up to you to ‘corrupt or not’.
