In a capitalist world, it can be hard to remember this. But despite what you are pressured to think, your value as a person does not come through what material value you create for others.

So the value of a person is determined by how much the person creates for himself?

Everyone, including yourself, has their own perspective on the value of your actions. You may value your actions to be of greater value than someone else does, but ignoring others’ opinion of that value entirely is perilous.

What do you envision your value being derived from? Just existing doesn't make someone valuable, it make them a drain on society. You need to contribute something.
