Life... can only be worth living once a value has been attained. It is the pursuit of this value that drives me. If I believed this pursuit to be moot, I would be driven to find the most elegant, and dramatic way of death, as there would not be a one thing in this world more glamorous. Value comes not from material, material can only be a representation of value. But it is this hoarding of a represented value that causes us to ignore its original purpose: To create a better world for us all. Money has lost its representing of value. Value can only be achieved through all forms of love and human relationships, unconditionally; and the sharing of knowledge and wisdom. Value is in people and in the social realm of things, as truly there is no thing that is not at least somewhat social. Therefore the biggest threat to our civilizations, societies, communities, and families... is individualism. That is, the ignoring of our social selves, the opposite of cooperation and helpfulness, of kindliness and compassion.
This is the only reasoning that drives my life. This is the only thing that needs to drive my life.
