So we've all heard this buzz word, but I have a big issue with it.
What type of person comes to your mind when you think of someone who is "high value"?
How about someone who you would tag as "low value"? What do you imagine?
It's likely when imaging a 'high value' person you saw someone good looking, financially well off, popular, if a man tall and well built, if a woman she probably had a body like a lingerie or instagram model.
When you imagined a 'low value' person you probably thought of someone unattractive, short, doesnt make alot of money, unpopular.
Are you starting to see the issues I have? Was that really a fair assessment of someone's 'value'?
Society has attached a person's value to superficial traits. It's akin to judging someone primarily by their outward appearance, and not the content of their character.
Think of it like this. One man is a 5/10 in the looks department and 5'7" tall. He is a hard worker, genuinely good person, and makes 40k a year. Another man is a 8/10 in the looks department and 6'1" tall. He is a hard worker, genuinely good person, and makes 120k a year. Does society consider both of them high value? No. The first man may not be considered "low" value, but he might as well be because he won't be considered high value. Notice how there's no inbetween. Your either in or your out. There's no middle class.
In reality, everyone is high value by default. Why? Because every person has innate positive qualities and potential, even if their full potential isnt realized yet. Someone only becomes 'low value' when they allow negative traits to ruin who they are, like unkindness, lack of empathy, greed, narcissism, laziness, etc.
Just really fed up with how there's all this advice about becoming 'high value' primarily centering on making more money and looking better. The reason this is the case is because the vast majority of people are still enslaved to primitive, immature impulses.
I'll explain.
Growing up as a child, what did we want to eat? The best tasting thing available! Whether that was candy, hotdogs, or whatever. As we grew older we began to understand for our long term health and well being we needed to not east just the best tasting things available, but also some not so nice tasting foods like vegetables and fruits because they provided us with nutrition our body truly needed. Both genders can take that to the extreme though, with women marry much, much older or even elderly or completely unattractive men because of their wealth, or men who date very unattractive (usually morbidly obese) women just so they can have sex with someone.
So yeah, I don't like this term 'high value' and thinks it points people in the wrong way...everyone wants to become 'high value' so they can attract another 'high value' person. Its insane. It's not teaching people balance or to be satisfied with someone unless they are 'extraordinary' in a vain sense. This is why we are going to have more and more lonely people out there because your going to have more and more people chasing unrealistic standards and dreams
