Put it on my MasterCard

Sometimes I wonder how much power we give to the idea of wealth.  To me, wealth is just that:  The more one works at a higher rate of pay, the more her or she attains of "money" at which now only appears as an intangible number reflected on a computer screen.  I may be mistaken, but it would be foolish for one to carry around 20k in his/her pocket while visiting the AT&T store to pay off the cell phone bill, the car insurance company headquarters desk to pay off the car insurance, and the cable company to pay the cable/internet bill.  Direct deposited checks increases the dollar sign number on your computer screen, and from that, you can navigate where simple subtraction places simple addition to balance out obligatory debt.  Sometimes this feels like a game of numbers more than a natural life process.  Whoever gets the highest number sign with the most canceled-out debt, wins the game of life.  The higher the number sign, the less tangible the game gets, meaning that dollar sign starts to reflect what we are worth which begins to reflect how we define worth.  The intransitive verb of worth means to become. The adjective of worth means having monetary or material value.  The adjective also describes one's ability to attain to the fullest extent his or her value or ability in life. The noun of worth describes the tangible value of something that is measured by its qualities, or the esteem it is held.  I believe the noun definition of worth is the tangible product of the adjective of worth.  The nicer items one has is a convoluted description of what he or she is valued at in life.  But this all reflects the individual self's definition of the intransitive verb of worth meaning to become.  "To become" is such a great phrase because you can practically attach any ending to it to complete a sentence.  To become smarter, to become richer, to become higher.  When I think about my own endings, I want to desire the core intention behind "becoming" like the one who created me.  To become wiser constitutes an ending that must use becoming smarter.  If you end at the "smarts", wisdom cannot take place.  To become generous includes becoming richer, for you cannot give away what you do not already have.  God loved us first, because he knows that you cannot thoroughly love another if you do not realize that you first are loved.  In the wise words of Mike Ashcraft, "If God created life, HE ALONE gets to define it."  Life is a reflection of worth, and so if God created us, he gets to define how much we are worth.  God is not a respecter of persons, meaning He does not value one person's worth over another.  Each individual's life worth to God is the same in His eyes.  It's our own believe about our individual self-worth that is in constant struggle by challenging the level of worth by the level of wealth one has.  If you only take one thing away from this blog, it should be this:  The worth of you is that of the worth of all man-kind alike - You were worth dying for, and the cost of a human life is something no one can truly place a dollar sign amount on.  The gift of life is priceless, and for everything else, there's a MasterCard. :)
