Tagged: “worth”
You talk about inherent worth in the context of forgiveness. I really do not feel that I am worthy or have a great deal of value. I am not particularly religious. Can you convince me that I have worth?
You have unique DNA. There never was anyone like you on the planet and when you no longer are here, there never will be another person quite like you. You are unique. You are irreplaceable. This makes you special, very special. It then follows that you have worth, an unconditional quality that cannot be taken from you despite any unfortunate circumstances you face. Your circumstances do not make you who you are. Your essence of being special, unique, and irreplaceable makes you who you are.
I hear the term inherent worth a lot when it comes to forgiveness, but I do not know what it is.
Inherent worth is the understanding that all people are special, unique, and irreplaceable and so no one should be treated as a means to others’ ends. All have value or worth, even when they behave badly.
