Reply #61: The things about me that let me know I'm worthwhile [View All]

[skygazer]

Are the things that compel me to do things for others. Compassion. Generosity. The ability to put myself in someone else's shoes and try to understand their feelings. I'm a good person, and a worthwhile person because I'm NOT only looking inside myself.

I don't believe everyone has an inherent worth, except as a repository of DNA. I don't believe that narcissistic, inwardly-looking, selfish people have any essential worth. They simply take up space, and don't contribute to anything except their own gratification. Luckily, I also don't believe that there are too many people who are completely narcissistic and self-absorbed - I think most people do have some redeeming worth in their interactions with others.
