A short spoken monologue arguing that all beings possess inherent value independent of performance or external validation. The speaker contrasts this inherent worth with culturally inherited beliefs and ego-driven thought patterns that push people to seek value externally.
Every single person on this planet is inherently valuable. A glass of water has inherent value. Your cat has inherent value. You don't expect your cat to go out into the world and perform and clock in and work a shift in order for you to perceive your cat as valuable. They're valuable because they're a cat and they're existing. And it's the same thing for every single human being. The problem is, we inherit these certain beliefs, certain thought patterns, and an ego is formed based upon those belief systems. And many of us inherit the belief of not knowing that our value is already there, a belief that we have to chase value outside of us.
