    I know this isn’t in the spirit of things, but, If you go through life comparing yourself to others, there’s always going to be someone more practised at something who possibly had more privileges and therefore came out ahead of you.

    But really we shouldn’t be measuring ourselves in how much $ we produce, that’s a made up thing, anyway and we are worth more than how many $ we can make someone else. And we’re pretty much all stuck in that oppressive system. And part of being stuck in that oppressive system is brain washing you into believing your value is tied up in how much you generate. But even on a basic level we actually know that’s not true. You don’t treat disabled people like they’re worthless, but their earning capacity in a society built around able bodied people, isn’t equal.

    You are a deep, rich, and complex, electrically animated meat puppet, and you have vast worth, you have just been trained not to see it.
