Thoughts on utilitarianism vs. the inherent value of BEING

Take time to do and see beautiful things.

Most of us have been raised in a very utilitarian world where everything is about rushing and productivity. Our value is often equated only with what we do that is measurable and practical. This is a very quick and effective way to kill the human spirit.

We need to fight for more. We need to see again how vital other aspects of life are. We need to see that people offer so much just in their presence and in being who they are--ourselves included.

Take time today to defy the utilitarianism that has so infected our culture. Do something useless but wonderful, and reconnect to your value as having much more to do with your BEING than your DOING.

Christmas isn't such a bad time for this either..
