Object: For Packrat
A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a
$20 bill. In the room of 200, he asked, 'Who would like
this $20 bill?' Hands started going up.
He said, 'I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first,
let me do this.' He proceeded to crumple the $20 dollar bill up.
He then asked, 'Who still wants it?' Still the hands were up in
the air. 'Well', he replied, 'What if I do this?' And he dropped
it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his
shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. 'Now who still
wants it?' Still the hands went into the air. 'My friends, we
have all learned a very valuable lesson', he said, 'No matter
what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not
decrease in value. It was still worth $20.'
Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground
into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances
that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless. But no
matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never
lose your value. Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased,
you are still priceless...and especially to those who love you.

There would have been a lot fewer takers if he'd wiped his arse with it.

Last week, we had to shut down a bathroom, poop was on the floor. A
pregnant woman who was in line, impatiently waiting, said "I don't care"
and burst her way in there right past our attempt to block her. You'd
be amazed at how small a repellent poo is for some people. Truly.

A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a
$20 bill. In the room of 200, he asked, 'Who would like
this $20 bill?' Hands started going up.

He said, 'I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first,
let me do this.' He proceeded to crumple the $20 dollar bill up.
He then asked, 'Who still wants it?' Still the hands were up in
the air. 'Well', he replied, 'What if I do this?' And he dropped
it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his
shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. 'Now who still
wants it?' Still the hands went into the air. 'My friends, we
have all learned a very valuable lesson', he said, 'No matter
what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not
decrease in value. It was still worth $20.'



There would have been a lot fewer takers if he'd wiped his arse with it.



Last week, we had to shut down a bathroom, poop was on the floor. A
pregnant woman who was in line, impatiently waiting, said "I don't care"
and burst her way in there right past our attempt to block her. You'd
be amazed at how small a repellent poo is for some people. Truly.

well... pregnant women have have bladders the size of peanuts and a
several-pound weight sitting on top of it to boot.
For her, it was either endure or pee down her leg.

Interesting...but...it was still *only* 20 dollars. Crumpling, stomping,
grinding...what have you...still just $20.
That takes 2 people to the movie where I am.
When I get stomped and ground into the floor, I'm not still worth $20 even
though the printing stays the same. It usually seems that the hands get
lowered as the walk to the front of the room becomes more aggravation for
what's still labeled $20 but seems to have gone through inflation via my
deflation deflation.

Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground
into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances
that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless. But no
matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never
lose your value. Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased,
you are still priceless...and especially to those who love you.

I like this... value is probably the most misunderstood concept
us humans have to deal with. Also ownership is way over
estimated. You own nothing when you are born and the same when
you are gone. Our worth has nothing to do with ownership. It is
in the hearts and minds of those who value us for our humanity.
It is in the quality of our sharing which is completely free.
