amount of assets?
the number of business connections?
the number of people who will do your bidding?
the experience and knowledge that you have?
or, is it the number of people that you serve?
the amount that you have given away? (this is a bit tricky in fact - if i have lots of materials to give away, then i devoted a lot of time to accumulate such materials in the first place)
the experience and knowledge that you have shared?
some combination of the above?
the even greater question is, why am i inquiring about value and worth in the first place? because i'm addicted to the feeling of being valuable, being worthy of something, being unique and irreplaceable in some respect?
being a valuable member of society doesn't seem like a terrible thing. perhaps the problem is whether i get attached to whether i am considered by others to be a valuable member of society - overly caring about what others think is perhaps one of the greatest sources of suffering in the first place?
