Changing Values

Men have emotional problems that we have been taught to contain, but when people's needs are real, sucking it up just doesn't work. An ear to cry on, a sympathetic voice with encouragement will often make the difference in attitude for the future. Music from the 70s sometimes pops in as verse to complete a thought and - cruel to be kind - is the one that comes here.

Our lives, our moods are governed by a sense that we are fulfilled in our work. Values becomes real when we choose to harvest them by appreciating the things we enjoy. If we build up too much value, without taking the time to enjoy and recharge our systems, we burden ourselves with frustration when somebody else swoops in and harvests the value we have built.

Our society must start investing in people that store value instead of consuming it. But really, we must decide what is valuable and harvest the returns from it, as often as we can afford to, without depleting the value. Being honest as to what constitutes real value is the first step.
