Scalable and non-scalable values!
We can consider the values we have today in two stages, material and spiritual. Both of our values have many years of experience and effort. These values are pioneers in shaping our lives in some way today.
If we were to create a value based on material and spiritual values, which would you choose?
I think that everyone will answer this question with moral values, except for exceptional cases. I can't find anyone strange for this answer because it really is, moral values are not easily earned and easily obtained values.
The process of forming our family, which is one of the spiritual values, and coming to this day, has been at the end of a long and difficult road. The journey that started as a result of the coming together of a young woman and a man, dates back to our existence and our present day. What value can afford or scale this up.
House, car, etc., which we see as material value. A scaling, i.e. pricing, valuation of all our real estate or crypto assets is possible. These values increase or decrease, but it is not possible to determine the value of our moral values and there will be no decrease in their moral values.
In terms of spiritual value, we can consider in other examples, even the beliefs we have today are the spiritual value of each of us, an item with spiritual value can be included in this class.
Imagine losing all the material values you have in an instant! This can be a terribly bad picture, but right after the acceptance process, you can start to have material values again. Another house can be built in place of the house that was destroyed or burned, or even more beautiful than before. A car can be bought again, although it may take some time. The monetary value you lost can perhaps be replaced for the better.
For this, a little extra work, motivation and moral values will contribute to the extra strength that will provide you. Life can always have bitter surprises for us, I'm not saying you should be prepared for this, but you should create the environment that can prepare you. For bad days, some savings or insurance will contribute a lot. Who knows, maybe you'll meet it with crypto!
Unfortunately, this is not the case with spiritual values, we do not have the chance to replace a lost spiritual value. Imagine losing someone with high spiritual value! That moment is the point where it can be the end of your life and you bottom out. Or you have lost an item with spiritual value, even if you buy the same item again, you will not have the chance to reach the feature that adds that spiritual value to it.
The most important duty given to us by being born is to live, I don't know how accurate it would be to define it as just a duty. It's like it's a duty we have to do, we will continue this duty until our lives are over.
Today we can use the word we are financially poor/rich. It is not very difficult to determine poverty or wealth materially, we are people close to each other at the point of meeting our human needs. Of course, there are those of us whose financial situation is much better or who are struggling with financial difficulties.
But if we look at it in terms of moral values, are we all really poor? I think the vast majority of us are spiritually rich. How aware we are of this richness is a bit of a mystery, and one of the tasks of living is discovery and learning. We should be aware of our spiritual values and question their effects on our quality of life.
We live in a certain pattern in common living spaces, regardless of materially rich or poor, spiritually rich or poor. This pattern is probably impossible to know, but being aware of it can make one more valuable.
When I look at it from every angle, I always think and say that my spiritual values outweigh. My family is my greatest moral value, I have one mother and one father, I have brothers and sisters who are different from each other, I have nephews that they have. When I lose one of them, I do not have the strength, courage or financial means to replace it with another. I am a person who believes in the religion of Islam and respects the spirituality of all religions, I have the right to demand and expect the same respect for my own moral values.
Our material values may be similar to each other, but our spiritual values will show awareness, this awareness does not change our lives and humanity. We are people living for similar purposes in a common world, no material or spiritual category is enough to separate us from each other.
Our lives are somehow intertwined with a pattern that we do not know and do not see.
Stay healthy and friendly!
This is something to think about. Not sure how to comment on this one. I have to really look into myself where my moral and spiritual values stand.
