Intrinsic value, do you in and of yourself have value? To whom? Why? This is our topic today because I am sure you have asked these questions before. I know I have, and I am still working on a viable answer. This question is also essential to a Resource Based Economy/Love Based Society.
A quick review of today’s society shows that value is based on what something or someone brings to the table, however everyone in your life serves some purpose. Think about this carefully, because you may not be aware of the purpose certain people play in your life. This exercise falls into the category of gratitude. For instance the bus driver, she is there to get you where you are going but also to guide you or possibly share companionship. Those who ride the same bus every day at the same time get to know the bus driver and the value of that relationship grows.
Have you thought of anyone with no intrinsic value yet? How about the villain? Make your choice, because they are plentiful in our society. I think you know without a villain there are no heroes. Ok, so how about a homeless person? Do they have any value? What purpose do they serve?
The purpose we all serve is to our Higher Self/ Soul. We are here for a purpose and the purpose in itself has value if to no one else. What makes a homeless person? No home right! It is of course a lot deeper than that. The person is homeless because they have made choices that lead to their present situation. It could be they lost a job, or are too unstable in mind to hold a job, which brings up another topic – jobs.
Does a person need a job to have worth/value? Do they have to “contribute to society” to have worth/value? Do they have value just for being themselves? What if you did nothing, would you still have value, or to state it another way, do you have intrinsic value? Once again life is a balance and needs both those in need and those to help. It just depends on which role you decide to play. Are you a hero or a villain; charity case or welfare worker? It really matters not, because we all have intrinsic value or else we would not be here!
Think carefully on this because it is of great importance. No matter what you do or don’t do, you have value to yourself at least, but probably to others you have no idea even exist. Life is not hard although we often make it that way. Be nice to yourself today and see the beauty in your existence! “a Love Based Society” knows the value of each and every person while making sure they know it too!
