Assignment 7: My Self-Value

   

   Self value is something really important. Most of the people always tend to think it is mainly about what religion you practice, but really it has to do with how good you feel about yourself and others around you. Many parents have showed you to have that self value because they don't want others to be talking about their little girl nor wanting others to be looking at their family as the bad ones. But then again there are those parents who teach their children self value because they know how good it is to feel good about yourself without having to look in the mirror and pity yourself.

     In some ways it is ones religion helping one out to find self value. Though i may not know the exact words but what i know is that in one of the 10 commandments it states that one should not envy nor be jealous of what others have and what you don't have. To my knowledge and belief God made everybody how they are for a reason. If you ask god will always provide but you also have to be thankful to the greatest extent. It is not good to always just want and want and never be able to give.

     I do understand that many people may be in misery and may want a different life or different parents or etc...but if you spend time always wasting your time just wanting other things or just talking about others because you want what they have then you won't be able to get what you want. Instead those who are jealous should put all that energy in achieving their goals to feel better about themselves to be able to get what they are jealous of. If one is jealous because they can't find their love of their life, just is patient because there are many people to meet and many places to see so the time will come around.

    My belief is that jealousy can become somewhat of a psychological sickness. When one is jealous sometimes it becomes so strong that one can commit a crime or even hurt the ones  you love when you least expect it. Many times jealousy becomes hatred and it becomes that much more dangerous. If one does not have any insecurities then there is no reason for hate nor jealousy. Many siblings become jealous of the attention given to them and end up growing up with hate in their heart and never forgive them.

    I think everybody should love themselves how they are because we are all brought upon on this earth how we are for a reason. Whatever doesn't break us nor kill us it makes us stronger and better. Instead of envying what others have congratulated them and let them know you are happy for them. When you feel good about what you have and how you are then you could start to feel good about others. If you use to be jealous or be hater before don't feel bad because it is the past but know that you have to know how to hate before you can learn what love is.
