Man that slap to my face was harsh

1. Is the act of "doing nothing" worthless?
2. Is worth really how you benefit people (I.E. a job or some kind of skill)?
3. If people practice misery and still have a life, is that actually happiness?

I'll be writing about number two. First lets read more articles like that one. This article is something that actually is useful to real life and not just BS academia (which I love but can be too much sometimes). Worth is what you have for society? No. worth is what you make of your self and then you allow yourself to be used or give freely of your worth. Many people are productive members of society but have no real worth, they just exist in society. I know that sounds odd but people sometimes seem like one thing but are actually another. Like me, I am good at my job but hate it. To me I believe that i have no worth (this is purely in just my job and how i perceive myself to my company). They could easily replace my self but why would they? I have experience, i know my job and the customers who come back everyday. If i was the company i would simply fire me and hire someone with a little experience in retail, pay them way less and just continue the process till they get their benefit from the whole process. I'm basically rambling here since worth and benefiting people or yourself are intrinsically infinite. Basically worth to other people will always be different people and that goes hand in hand with the benefits of the same agreement. I agree with the article but he simply does not account for the infinite amount of possibilities out there, granted self improvement will increase the chances to prove your own worth/ benefits to said people. That's enough self help for the week.

  1. I agree with you wholly. I work in the service industry as well and I find myself to be doing my job remarkably well, yet when I sit and think about it, I am easily replacable. Society doesn't care about the individual, but the collective.
