'Been wondering how Man has been gradually more deluded by the things they themselves had created. The kind of value they can tag unto something as simple as a piece of dollar bill...something that originally came from nature, now cycled through the world in a fracas of political whirlwinds - it's just hard to think of something so innocent, so blatantly pure, being the rotten root that led to the decay of morals.
Value brings judgment, brings weightage, and provokes the innate nature of Man to start measuring the worth of things. But once things are measured, and subsequently labelled, they are no longer equal. They have a value. This value can raise them millions of levels above their original, or lower them down to unseen depths. Does value equal to worth? I doubt so. Value is the physical cost of things, the unit of judgment civilization has created, but worth...worth is the true substance and essence of things in their purest. Worth is not to be casually tinkered with by the physical aspects of evaluation.
Perhaps someday Man as a whole will open his eyes and see for the first time the true world around them, that everything in this world, when stripped of their physical burdens of appearance, are common souls and energies that make up our universal web. We are in unison, distinct beings but in unison; diversity in equality, and vice versa.
Not everything has to be named to have worth. The name does not give you worth. Names do not give anything worth. They only give you acknowledgement of your worth, a form of recognition made easy by the physical facet of identification. But we cannot forget the other aspects that form the identity of things. We need to learn how to recognise things not by their labels, their value, but their worth.
It will just be like throwing away the words "I", "You", "He", "She", "It, "They" or "We" and looking at the barren form of things unadorned with such labels. They will be so very different...so much more real, so much closer. Only by discarding the physical facade and looking beyond these masks we cover them with, can we finally perceive the true substance that make up what things are.
