What is value when it pertains to humans? Well that’s an obvious answer when you think about it right. Value is of course our worth, more specifically, how much worth is placed in us from ourselves and the people around us. If it was just that then maybe we’d be okay, but the sad thing is that it is not. The value we place in ourselves and others becomes twisted and unjust. It becomes so in two ways, the first one being through the social media.

The problem doesn’t begin to be seen as one until us human beings get on there. We use the internet to judge others on their status and looks. If you have connections and are seen in a picture with a famous person you automatically have more value than someone who isn’t. If your ‘beauty’ shines through more so in a picture than someone else your worth is richer. Right?

The second way value becomes twisted is when we base our own value on whether or not we will be accepted into society. We either feel we have to change the way we are or hide it in order to feel comfortable in our own skin. Somehow along the way we stop doing what we think is important, or following the beliefs that we were born with to accumulate a group of people you feel will place value in you. You start to lose the meaning of why value is important.

The only way to know your value is by being healthy and happy in a way that doesn’t take your beliefs away from you. The only way you truly won’t have any value is when you start to lose yourself and the meaning of the word. The only person who can take value away from you is yourself, so please come to this realization.
