Words mean so many different things to different people, and for me the subject of Values is the study of what is valued.
For instance some people might value wealth, and not value love.
I personally value love over wealth. For me, having spent time in prayer and meditation, love is a person, who might indeed be called Love.
Valuing my relationship with Love, I wish to behave lovingly towards others. Selfishness is out.
The modern world says to its children that they must look after number one, meaning put themselves and their own comfort first. For me this is utterly wrong, because my happiness is in my relationships with other people. (There is only ONE; others are myself; the relationship I have with the world is ultimately the relationship I have with myself.
Therefore fine grained questioning of the structure of morality is needless, and any fool can understand how to become happy in their relationship with the world; with GOD; with themselves: Love is Happiness, Happiness is Beauty... Love is the work of care for others, and Happiness is the outcome of such work.
Love is what I value.
- DoreenMichele 6y agoThanks. The post isn't really intended to be comprehensive or something. I'm just trying to stumble my forward on developing this parenting blog that has been languishing. "Anything worth doing is worth doing badly." I'm sure this sucks, but I need to see how people react to it and what not to improve on that and work out how best to communicate about parenting topics.
