Every one of us matters (#1529)

No one is too insignificant to matter. We all have the same value as human beings living in a world where we do not know from whence it came. Some may think they are of greater worth by their ego but they would be living in an illusion. Some may be smarter in our society and value that understanding as greater than others but then they would miss the point of being alive. Smart is good but not a differentiation factor in who is greater than another. Some who are magically gifted as athletes think they are better than others who are not but they also don't realize that better motor and physical presence doesn't change the basic chemistry we all share. We are all the same in the sense that we all deserve respect for being live human beings. Culture and environment have allowed for segregating us from each other and that in itself has masked the individual gifts we all bring to life. We spend more time highlighting our differences from others when those differences gain us an advantage, instead of trying to open up society for all to participate. When those of us who are gifted with strengths that rise to the top of our species, do not use those gifts to better society and instead only use them for the cynical approach of self reward, we are doomed to fall apart in areas of equality and the old master/servant form of society continues in it's antiquity. I am fortunate to have some qualities that allow me to be insightful and agile in my daily life and for that humility is my reward. How can I make others' lives better is my vision for me, how about you?
