Examining the Paradox of Self-Worth and Reality

Is it all in vain? What provides all meaning? What precisely are we all pursuing? Why is it necessary for us to awaken in the morning?Maybe being successful is the definition of success, but it didn't seem like a satisfying response to me. Why do we want to pursue it? And can you get there?

Is the revelation that we don't matter much in the larger scheme of things really shocking to us, or is it just a distraction from the never-ending suffering that is existence? To rationalize and provide meaning to this endless boredom, we have created all these criteria for life and self-worth.

The worth of anything may be determined in three different ways, the first is a Platonic comparison to see how it measures up to an ideal. The second approach is the Hegelian approach, in which we contrast an object with its opposite. The third standard of evaluation is neither Platonic nor Hegelian, but Aristotelian: understanding whether something is fully realizing itself as opposed to comparing it to an ideal or an antithesis.

We typically pick the easier option when it comes to our self-worth, that depends on the world we live in. But Is it a result of our unwillingness to engage in difficult battles? Or is it because we believe this is the best way to communicate the value of who we are?

To determine whether anything is successful in being itself, we must examine reality. Instead of focusing on ideals, concepts, or theories—which can't teach us anything about that matter—look at the facts, so which reality should we consider? Can we assert that there is such a thing as objective reality?

let us take a moment and understand what & how reality is perceived, Does our interpretation of reality affect it in any way? meaning that reality depends on how we see it? Or is it independent of the prism through which we view everything? What is the hidden connection between what we see and what is truly real?

And if we simply consider the fact that some organisms actually have unique physical optical systems through which they typically communicate and survive, such as ultraviolet colors and the like, which we cannot actually see or understand without the use of artificial means, we can safely assume how far reality is from being objective and that there is much more to it than we are aware of and are unaware of.

With this being realized; so a thing's worth of success is by asking Does it succeed in being and realizing itself? What makes a thing effective at being has a pretty straightforward solution. Is the thing acting honestly toward thyself? Not: Is it more like the Trump and Kardashians? Nevertheless, is the thing truly and completely themselves? Have they experienced reality to the maximum extent possible in relevance to that thing in itself— regardless of whether it is measured in terms of years, achievements, happiness, or anything else.

We must understand that "value" as a whole is nothing more than a charming moniker for a construct that we are using to convince ourselves that it is crucial to waking up each morning in order to achieve that constructed value, regardless of the result or which of the two techniques is chosen. If we are truthful with ourselves about the lack of realism in our self-worth, we will also have to make sacrifices in order to escape the epic trajectories that we will have to go through.

To be honest, to some degree, that may be the case, one would believe that I am being pessimistic and cynical, sad, or whatever word they might use to describe someone who is resisting drowning their thoughts in the pleasure of the fantasy of self-worth. Yet I've never been able to muster the will to endorse or concur with the "human development motivating speeches"

To put it more plainly, it was never appropriate to me, how can one determine their whole existence and self-purpose with only the power of a speech? The term "success" is essentially a relative and arbitrary construct. Who is to claim that the "hobo," whom no one wants to be in their place, lacks success more than that rich, powerful person with a high social standing?

If the only "success" that mankind as a whole aspires to is the artificially created idea of value known as "money", or determined and accomplished through the subjective perceptions of others and their judgment then "success" in this situation is defined by one's ability to satisfy limitless needs and thirst, making "success" never truly accomplished, limited freedom is the outcome of "success" in this scenario since it also means making oneself weaker, more reliant, and under control.

It is completely illogical to believe that "nothing is impossible if you work hard," "work is money, money is happiness, and happiness is success," or that you should "strive to be the richest, wealthiest, and most powerful human being" success can only be realized and achieved when it is subject to oneself, one only succeeds when a one is in full alignment with one's true self.
