"Forget perfect, I'm trying not to be worthless..." -Fort Minor

Slap a monetary value to something to consider its worth. The more money that the thing is valued for, the more it's worth.

Slap a monetary value to an animal, and it's a pet under your ownership.

Slap a monetary value to someone, and it's prostitution.

But never mind you bought an animal for the sheer enjoyment of it, like you do for an individual for your sexual gains. But everyone decries prostitution, saying it lack morals and valued judgement.

I didn't realize we put a price tag on judgement.

How do you value yourself if you can't do it the way society values everything else, by money?

The most expensive items in the world have the heftiest price tag, but the most important people you can ever meet come with a simple fee: trust, love, and acceptance. Simple of course is debatable, just like you value self-worth. But if you define your moral code and ethics by Love, and not by greed, you'll see the exact displacement of your worth in one reality and how its suddenly placed and worth more in another.
