Value Of Others
Self-value says far more about how you are doing in humanity than
self-esteem. Self-regard is frequently confused with ego and selfconcept — how you respect yourself. Self-value is to a greater extent
behavioral, more about how you handle yourself than how you
consider yourself.
To value something is more than regarding it as significant. To value
it is to value its finer qualities and to vest time, energy, sweat, and
sacrifice in its care. For instance, if you’ve a da Vinci painting, you
center on its beauty and designing (more than the breaks in the
paint), and, most especially, you care for it well, making a point that
it’s maintained in paragon conditions of temperature and humidity.
Likewise, individuals with self-value value their finer qualities (while
attempting to improve their lesser ones) and attend to their physical
and psychological wellness, development, and growth.
Now here’s the slick part. Individuals with elevated self-value
inevitably value other people. The more they value other people, the
greater their self-value develops.
While difficult to see in yourself, you are able to likely notice the
following disposition in others. When they treasure somebody else,
they value themselves more, i.e., they lift their sense of well-being,
treasure their better qualities, and better their wellness, development,
and growth.
But when they undervalue somebody else, they undervalue
themselves – their sense of well-being drops, they assault their basic

humanity to some level, and become narrower and more set in
perspective, all of which impair development and growth.
Put differently, as you value somebody else, you undergo a state of
value – a sense of verve, meaning, and purpose (literally, your will to
live grows) – and when you undervalue somebody else you go
through a depreciated state, wherein the will to live well gets more
insignificant than the will to dominate or at any rate be seen as
correct.
It’s frequently difficult to notice that you’re in a undervalued state, as
undervaluing other people calls for a particular amount of adrenalin,
which brings on a temporary feeling of might and certainty – you feel
correct (though you’re more likely self-righteousness), however it
lasts only as long as the stimulation lasts. To stay “correct,” you have
to remain energized, negative, and constricted in perspective: “each
time I consider him I get annoyed!”
In contrast, when self-value is elevated, you more easily view others
positions and may disagree with them without feeling undervalued
and without undervaluing.
The urge to undervalue other people always signals a belittled sense
of self, as you must be in an undervalued state to undervalue. That’s
why it’s so difficult to put somebody down when you feel truly good
(your value investiture is elevated) and equally difficult to build
yourself up once you feel resentful.
If you question the latter, consider what you say to yourself and other
people once resentful, things such as: “I shouldn’t have to endure
this; I deserve more, just look at all the great things I accomplish….”

When you value other people, i.e., when your self-value is elevated,
you don’t consider what you have to endure and you surely don’t feel
the need to list the great things you accomplish. Instead, when faced
with life or relationship challenges, you change automatically into
improve mode – you attempt to make sorry situations more beneficial.
The grand scam of undervaluing other people is that it never places
you in touch with the most crucial things about you and,
consequently, never elevates self-value. To the contrary, its entire
purpose is to make somebody else’s value appear lower than your
own.
If it works, you’re both downhearted; if it doesn’t, you wind up lower
than where you began, when the adrenalin wears away and you see
matters in more than one dimension. In either example, your
personal worth remains low and contingent on downward
comparison to those you undervalue.
This dependency on downwardly comparison produces a habitual
state of powerlessness – you are able to only feel all right if you feel
more of value (i.e., More correct or intelligent) than those you
undervalue.
