How Many Of You Associate Your Income With Your Self Worth?

Yep, they'll make their own decisions in the end. But whatever decision they make, it won't be for lack of a solid, rational, academic foundation.

All that's well and fine.

But to teach kids to see anyone as "Lower class" because they
unfortunately haven't been able to see that they've been programmed
is terrible.

To teach kids they are "Better" than someone else is horsh*T. That isn't
helping the kid at all. In fact it creates an INFERIORITY complex in the
child.

So that is what I call stupid crap.

Okay, "class" was not the distinction I was looking for because it gets attached to socio-economic class. Wherein, I place value on knowledge capital to be considerably higher than financial capital. Therefore my use was inappropriate in consideration of the context.

Good stuff until about the time they invented Elmo to boost ratings.

Social conditioning is very strong where I come from. You can literally feel its energy and that going against it is going to cause trouble. This is why I spend so much time in the library to be away from the crap.

Your self worth is something you carefuly build throughout your entire life.
For example you are continuously developing physical, intellectual and spiritual
skills, gaining friends, respect and influence, teaching others, etc.
There is absolutelly no connection at all between money and self worth, these
are two completely unrelated things. Making money is just one activity that
one may be passionate about or not, but for most people it is a must.
Only very shallow people value others by how much money they make.

Guess there are alot of shallow people in the world then. I try my best to stay away from these people, but you cannot even talk with them without them trying to compare themselves against you. Some people will not even talk to you if you are not in a certain income bracket or live in a certain neighborhood.
