SOMETIMES VALUE IS CONTEXTUAL: BUT IT NEVER CHANGES

by Vera

After my daily workout today, I decided to clean our bedroom. As I did so, I saw a MK20 note on the floor. My initial reaction was to sweep it together with the trash outside. And almost immediately, the spirit if God rebuked me right there and then. I kinda felt like i heard Him audibly saying, “and you really expect to make money when you treat it that way??” You should have seen the embarrassment on my face!!! I bent down and picked it up and put it away for safekeeping

Then it dawned on me; there is little one can buy at the moment at the value of MK20, except for maybe janas sweets or something.

However, if you have MK1480, and you want to buy something worth MK1500, that MK20 will be of immense value. Meaning that in that context, you can actually fail to purchase whatever it is you may need because you do not have MK20. And yet MK20 as a note on it’s own is basically, without significance, valueless.

It is the same thing with people. You walk around and consider other people valueless in your presence or in your life. Yet upon your death, you will need gravediggers most of whom will not have degrees, we need them as we cannot just throw your educated self on the road side, we must still ensure dust returns to sender. We still need that receptionist at the hospital to take in your details before a doctor can even see you. We still need that guy to grow his vegetables to facilitate your low carb diet.
Whatever you do, you still need others irrespective of their level of education or economic status. It matters therefore within which context you are operating, but whatever your situation, treat all people with respect, regardless. In a different context, the story can and will be different, I can guarantee this
