Value

Do they add an extra dimension, however tiny, to a conversation or circumstance?  Do they add clarity?  Do they contribute information or gravitas that wouldn’t otherwise have been available without their presence?  Do they feel like a critical missing piece to the situational puzzle?  Do they intrigue?  Or, conversely…..is their absence not even noted?  Does the fact their presence is missing go arrantly unnoticed, let alone set off bells of concern and true alarm?  Is the strength of their personality—and more foundationally, their character—so weak that no one even cares whether they are missing from any situation, regardless of importance?  Do they bore beyond belief?  These are the seminal questions which need to be asked insofar as a person’s criticality as a cog in the ginormous, ever dynamic machine which is everyday humanity.  If you checked all the wrong boxes on the aforementioned questions, then sadly there is really no good reason why you were ever born.  You need to roll up your sleeves and get to work immediately on becoming a real, legitimate, unique individual, not just some DNA-enhanced zombie squandering precious oxygen and soil space on Earth’s finite surface.
