Leonard: I’m starting to realize that the value we place on things is a total invention; money is nothing more than a collective leap of faith.
I’ve been questioning my own arrogance, why would one zip code make me any better than another?
I feel the guilt of someone who ignores the pain of others while keeping the system running.
If, at the end of the day, it’s the moments that matter and not the assets, why focus so much on the outer shell?
I’ve decided to create my own reality by helping people without an agenda.
I might be naive, but I’d rather face my own insignificance and live with total transparency.
Here is my invitation to you: make peace with who you are, quite apart from what you own.
William: The value of things is a "total invention"!?
Value comes from necessity or desire, which is what drives supply and demand.
Look at water, for example, is that worthless?
We need water; that’s not a social construct, it’s a biological necessity.
What is the value of water?
If it’s abundant, the price is low; if there’s a shortage, the price is high.
To establish value, we need an efficient medium of exchange, we need to set a "price."
That’s where money comes in; it simply replaced bartering.
As for your point:
"make peace with who you are, beyond what you possess."
I’m already good with who I am, Leonard.
That doesn't mean I can't appreciate the things I've earned.
