What makes any person valuable? Please look at others and think about that question. Is a homeless panhandler less valuable than a corporate executive? What about the nasty neighbor? Is a nicer person more valuable than them?

What is a "useless" person? Do we have to have jobs to be useful? Do we have to serve others in some way? What about those of us who live alone, and live only for comfort or self gratification? What about the people who suffer in solitude, the elderly and handicapped who have no family ties or friends? Are those people useless?

Please look around at all the people you meet, and think about their value, their usefulness in this world. Think about the worth of a human life-- any life.

Then look back at yourself, and know that you are equal to all others in creation. You are equal to everyone else. Simply give yourself the chance to Know that, deep in your soul.
