How much are we really worth (minus money and assets)?

Can we not use deeds to calculate how much we are worth?

    Jun 21 2012: Kit,
    It seems very true a person who is wholly trustworthy is worth a lot! Trust is earned and when we fail or default we lose credibility, friends and maybe even fortune. What does it mean for anyone to be trustworthy? If you were in an accident, became immobile and totally dependent on another person and that person performed your requested tasks without fault or crime, would you trust that person?

    It seems like very high privilege and honor to have trusted friends. With full opportunity to steal and defame, a trustworthy person would serve you with honor and sincerity and preserve your assets and dignity. Would you rather have that person in your home or a person you know is a thief?

    We ought to try to live as though we want people to trust and love us. This is what is worth spreading. Trust means everything to one who has need. Trust is worth earning for one who wants to be loved.

    Peace,
    MK
