We have to feel that we do matter somehow, if we don't we become self-destructive. Self-worth? hmmm.... I don't know how you can compute for that as there is no known mathematical equation for it. As long as you can be truly honest to yourself and say that you are happy, it really doesn't matter what you can and cannot afford. We should define things around us and not the things define us. just my 2 cents worth. :) <em>Tina, I am happy to note what you said: "We should define things around us and not the things define us." In this materialistic world we live in, this should be practiced. Thanks :) </em> Ate Julie,

Tina, I am happy to note what you said: “We should define things around us and not the things define us.” In this materialistic world we live in, this should be practiced. Thanks :)

And to add, I think we have to be realistic on how we evaluate or gauge ourselves. Not more, not less. I'd like to say that happiness is a measure of self-worth. But hapiness is relative. It depends on the person. <em>So True, Ana, happiness is relative. </em> I agree with Tintin and Cookie. And to add, I think we have to be realistic on how we evaluate or gauge ourselves.

So True, Ana, happiness is relative.

I think as long as you accept what you are and are happy with what you have, knowing your self-worth shouldn't be an issue. Cliched as it may sound, knowing how to love and knowing that you are loved is more than enough. <ul> <li>Thanks for the input, Cookie,very much appreciated. But sometimes it doesn't help that even when you accept yourself and are happy but people around you do not appreciate you and what you do, it "dampens the spirit" and your self-worth suffers. Ahhh...kinda complicated din. :)</li> </ul> That’s a very difficult question.

But a few weeks back, I read it in a book, I was amazed how much I appreciated the words written there. And yes, comparing doesn't help <strike>unless it is a language skill that needs to be accomplished</strike> :)</li> </ul> I always try to remember the words from Desiderata…it really doesn’t help to compare.
