 Topic: How Worthless Are You?
Posted: March 23 2007 at 17:20 |
|
I've been wondering ever since I joined the site...
Just how worthless are you?
In the grand scheme of things, of course. Or Not.
Me, I'm sorta worthless.
Feel free to have in-depth discussions about just how worthless one person or another is.

I'm constantly living towards finding what I am meant for, on this world. Like the son of a ... I am and can't progress from...

100% worthless. Humans are all worthless, pathetic creatures.

At home (father, husband) and at work (teacher), I feel worthwhile.I'm also a good friend to my friends.  My dog and my goldfish seem to like me, too -- particularly at feeding time....

What about art? Do you pay for music, or is that product of universally "worthless" humans also worthless to you?  Humans have added considerable beauty to the world, via art. If "god" were about to exterminate us all, I'd propose art (and other things) as a reason not to.  If I felt as you claim to, I'd have to seriously consider suicide (please don't, though)!  I'd wager you won't always feel that way. I vividly remember feeling as you've stated, when in my teens/early 20s. Life can get better with maturity, finding real love, and working toward a meaningful vocation. Try to believe in yourself, and build a better future!

I still don't know yet.
Right now I'm not contributing to society except for paying taxes.
We'll see how useful I am after college.

Do you have any friends? Parents? I bet you're of considerable worth to them!

Ah, you got me there.  I'm not as bad as Ansen, although I don't think he's a danger.

Peter, stop it. You're spoiling a perfectly sad thread with your optimism.

Just watch, Peter is going to open a thread about how young people feel worthless even though
they have everything to live for.

I don't feel worthless, just confused.

I picked the 2 cents option. I'm pretty worthless, unremarkable and trite, and I won't be changing the world.
LAPLACE SUCKS :P

So worthless that I spend all my time floccinaucihilipilificating, just because it sounds cool. Others wise I'm worth just a tiny bi tmore than a drum machine, unless the drum machine is soloing for 18 minutes.

Floccinaucihilipilificate: to estimate oneself as worthless.

Nobody has a clue about their own worth. Even someone who thinks enough of you to dismiss you attaches more worth to you than a complete stranger. You never know- you could have said two words to someone in passing that was worth more to them than a decades-long relationship means to a fickle friend. Kinda funny that people are most likely to interpret the thread title as "how highly do you think of yourself?". That aspect is probably the most worthless thing about you....or is it? Only by our own perceptions do we apprehend reality, so a thorough judgement of our own worth is an appraisal of existence in entirety. So anyway, I think I'm pretty worthless but you'd have to ask everyone who's ever known me before you got any kind of accurate answer. Most likely they'd agree, but you never know. I personally suspect that Peter is worth more than most of us, combined.
