What are you worth?


Do you wonder what Taylor Swift net worth is? Someone must because there is a category in the search engines of the web.
Do you ever wonder what you are worth?
Checking assets against deficits can give a monetary sum of worth, but what about all the rest?
How many skills can you perform? How many books have your read? How far of the globe have you traveled? How articulated are you in the sciences or the languages or the arts?
Some have calculated the body is worth up to $45 million for parts and pieces if sold on the open market. Others have estimated the body is only worth about $150, give or take a liver and maybe a gold tooth.
We value ourselves on our ‘worth’. We envy those with more consumption and strive to reach their level of success (measured in wealth).
After one movie star has disappeared another takes their place to continue our lust. Yet in the end, our most valued moments are those with family and friends that cannot be purchased.
Houses, cars, jewelry will all perish, as will our bodies, so our wealth is only our legacy.
If no one remembers, was it worth the journey?
