Social Class

We live in a world where we are judged, labeled, and categorized by our behaviors and by our monetary status.  It is said that the class we are born in is most likely the class that we will remain in for the duration of our lives.  Our choices and the way that we act is usually an indicator of our social class, and of the future that awaits us.

As I have thought about this kind of thinking, it has caused me to reflect on the worth of a human soul. It seems to me that we determine how much someone is worth upon conditions.  The world has caused us to look at individuals in this way, seeming to only care about the things of the world.

When we look at how valuable a human soul is, we learn that the worth of a human soul is great, and that each soul is equal.   No one is better or worth more than another.  Yes, each of us may be at different stages of monetary wealth or status, but does that really make a difference?  In some ways I think it can impact our lives, but in the grand scheme of things, it does not matter.

We must learn to be grateful for the things that we do have, and if we ever find ourselves doing well, and in a position to help others around us, we should.
