Happiness and Self-worth
What's happiness?
Happiness is the feeling of contribution. The contribution need not be visible. (You do not need to brag for you have written a famous article, for Achievements.)
worth = how much contribution you did.
You say, oh then a bedridden or a baby has no worth. Right?
The bedridden or the baby are contributing by being alive cuz if they died, you would be sad right?
You must not value yourself on the basis of 'level of acts'. Value yourself on the 'level of being'. For being alive. Do you see any competition or jealousy here?
