Alma 6 – 7
It occurs to me that Alma would have had the ability in a way that we can’t to simply look at the people of his day and see if they are walking offer the pride of their wealth. I think Laura mentioned this idea months ago that back in those times people wore their wealth to a large degree. Not only in jewelry but also in the fact that there was more visible difference in the quality of their cloth based on its cost. Today the visible quality of our cheap clothes is similar to our expensive clothes and the cost of good quality clothes is often not so much more than the cost of cheap clothes. In other words it is possible today to have poor people look much like rich people in their dress. Not only that but it is possible for people who are not rich or proud of their riches to get good quality clothing without breaking the bank.
