34 comments fedilink hide all child comments

authenticity -> real and genuine
autonomy -> seperate individual (not enmeshed)
curiosity -> growth mindset and learning constantly
growth -> improving functioning and increased awareness of change and adapting to new circumstances
peace -> absence of conflict and abnegation of other people's drama/entitlements
pleasure -> enjoying or benefitting from the actions I take and consequences of those I maintain relationships with
respect -> genuine care for recognizing and upholding other's needs where it is safe and not incompatible with your own
reciprocity -> balanced approach to give/take and being mutually-attentive to signs of imbalance
safety -> avoiding things, people, places, situations that hurt you or cause you to be unable to enforce the protections you need to accomodate yourself in the context
stabillity -> expectation of consistency and balance and sustainabillity in one's relationship with anything/anyone.

These are sort of a rough outline of mine, how about yours Lemmings? Mine aren't exhaustive but these are the core simplest profile I could break down. Feel free to steal anything and add to your collection ;)

People are worth investing in. Money isn’t power.

I don't think you meant it this way but what I've been considering recently is our culture's obsession with consumption over offering. We generally admire those who've obtained and retain tangible wealth more than those who have obtained and share wisdom, aid, and generosity. We, society in general, look up to and want to be more like those with big houses and flashy cars and "have things" while we tend to not aspire to be someone who gives and sacrifices and genuinely tries to make the world a better place. Because capitalism and corporations and the media and the government have nothing to gain from a culture of people who want to give more than consume.
