True Scales

I keep coming back to this thing in my head called True Scales. Essentially, most of the methods by which we use to "measure" ourselves are predominantly illusory. Weight, age, economic bracket, gpa, scoring average, etc. While these things for sure matter to some degree, as a society we give them far far too much measure when it comes to determining the value of people. The value of people is nearly infinite, and that is the coolest thing ever. But marginalizing is many times non-beneficial and tends to be a deep cause of a great many ills. We're better, prettier, wiser, and more able than we think we are. This is a fact. So, it is time to determine more true or genuine scales for ourselves and one another. Don't just sit by and allow many others and monetary structures to dictate how we feel. Because too man of us have suffered and often times died as result of such a system. Re-definiton is not just one of the best songs and beats of all time but it is also a manner in which to live or choose to live. Get with it.

As an example, here is how the social economy works: Someone asks "how old are you?" Most immediately, something happens in our own minds where we define or just feel we are "old." What the fuck is that? Seriously. People are 80 right now who are hitting the gym, loving life, making love maybe better than 35 year olds. Get with the program and think about how we communicate. And this is proof that yes we are in this boat with more people than we are likely comfortable with  :)
