selfworth

a friend of mine posed this question to me, "What defines self worth?" at first i was like, this question is pretty cliche but i obliged. upon telling her what was on my mind, i realized certain things that im not usually conscious of -  things i should remind myself of.

as for the question what define's a person's worth, i will say one thing. it requires faith. cause even when we know money, fame, honor, dont define us (who we really are), we're so tempted to let it define us. because the world we live in places so much value in those things. i know that  for me, i feel better about myself when i am financially secure, and feel less so when i am not. i think in some ways, actually in many ways, to have faith is to be a rebel to the world. to gain is to lose, and to lose is to gain. i think ulitmately to be a man or woman of self-worth,  its necessary to be a rebel, like a salmon swimming upstream. and i am hoping that when i am tired and spent, i can then truly rest in peace in stiller waters, where no regrets exist.
