True Value

It seems that, at times, we must ask ourselves what we are trying to prove? More importantly, what is the aim behind the feeling that proving something is neccesary? Is it the belief that, through the acceptance, we will have release from the feelings of unworthiness that haunt so many? How did we become convinced that value is solely connected to our ability to produce? Gaining value by what we can accumulate, deriving fleeting worth from disintegrating materials; materials that seek to silence the invisible whispers that eat away at shaky confidence. There can be no freedom in this social context where invisibility is the punishment for those who don't subscribe to these values. Is this a recipe for unhappiness? This feeling of worth is something to be gained as opposed to something inherently present, is deeply problematic. Those who cannot grasp the warm clutches of affirmation, will be sent on a journey looking for validation only to be confronted with the reality that true validation comes from within.
