Intrinsic Worth

Look at yourself in the mirror.  Look at your neighbor.  Now look at them without their ‘star power’.

You can’t earn anyone’s love.  You might think you can ‘temporarily’ but it never lasts.  The narcissistic ‘star’ syndrome has been soaring to thousands of rpms these past few years.  I noticed it reaching new peaks in the ‘90’s with drama classes and drama club added to the ‘star’ funding packages. So, what’s it all about?

For at least three generations the insidious false belief is perpetrated that unless you are a societal ‘star’ even in a family you have no worth.  Personally I call it prestige power inherited from the feudal (futile) king-queen/royalty syndrome—a ridiculous idea that wealth, whoredom power, talents, intelligence, genealogy or seer-ship somehow makes a person ‘worthier’—which of course is bullshit.

Only God is worthy of Love.  And it is only God who loves each one of us ‘as is’.

I love Lundy my backyard squirrel.  He brings great joy to me and others. We are created to love each other that way.  Just ‘as is’—nakedly—no crowns, stars, badges, stripes...etc.

The people who ‘get that’ are the really content, happy ones and they are truly grateful for the least cup of coffee.

I don’t care if you don’t have money, are ‘attractive’ (it will go away quickly), have Einstein’s IQ, are popular, are in dance with the stars.  I am called to loved each one as God loves me—unconditionally.  In others words, I must dispense with the egoistic, selfish trait of “I will love you forever [IF]....   The ‘if’ for a Christian has to go.

Used to be that is what ‘family’ was for...to provide a nurturing, safe, loving unconditional place for each member. 

Envision the reality that is meant to be...family...not the one touted today.

If it really existed today we would not have mass murderers, mental illness, etc.
