Recommended: Importance of values in human life

In today’s society individuals differ in many ways, some possessions becoming more significant in value than others. While there is a large variety to choose from I have chosen what has made an impact and affected my life the most, and arranged them in the top three of my list. I have placed God, my family and education before anything and everything else. As I bow my head and pray I feel reassured and calm knowing that there is someone above mindful of me, a sense of peace knowing that all the tribulations that I have faced I have never faced alone. For that reason and for many more is why I have placed God number one on my list. I have always attended church therefore thinking that it was okay to call myself a “Christian”, but when it came down to it I was a hypocrite and I did not even realize it I am not sure that anyone really realizes it until something drastic occurs in their life. This drastic point occurred in my life when I was a sophomore in high school I became very ill; my joints ached on everywhere part of my body causing every single movement to be very pain...

  • On Dumpster Diving By Lars Eighner

    960 Words  | 2 Pages

    Although I didn’t necessarily put anyone first, I was able to think of my family as well as my friends as I was shopping. These items have a lot of value, but now the ones I bought for me have no personal value and the ones I bought for others will hopefully have personal value for them. Which makes me think, is that the true goal of buying items for others. Hoping that they will hold some sort of value for them.Or is it knowing that they love certain things, and buying those things for them is the point because they already have value. Although It’s not so much about “grabbing for the gaudy babble” as it is grabbing for something that has personal value to you. And personal value all depends on your memories, and the moments the object's attribute toward you, that make them worth something. Personal value will be different for everyone, but ultimately it is the most important, because it defines attention and sight as well as our lives in general. Dumpster diving is not necessarily about digging through trash, it is about finding something out there in the world that could possibly have meaning to you, and thereby cherishing

    In order to do this we need to have responsibility for our possessions. They are ours, they have value, whether sentimental or monetary, and it is our job to take care of them. If we do not, then our hard earned money has gone to waste or our memories that were attached to it, are simply only alive in our minds. Having things to take care of helps us to have a sense of purpose in life, and teaches us responsibility to care for what is ours. Both important virtues that help us grow and discover ourselves when we have tangible objects that belong to and are cared for by

    I believe, that many of us know that like Chris McCandless that we all have way too many “unnecessary baggages” and have things that we all cannot live without as well. With each person those things are different. Of course, that there are things that we all need because of the culture and the time period that we all live in, such as, car, cell phone, internet, and computer are some of the few examples that I could list of the top of my head. Now that I look into my own life, there are many “unnecessary baggages” in my life that I have and there are also somethings that I just simply cannot live without and i would not trade them for anything with. I personally need my Bible, food, water, and clothing. Because they are essential to life,

  • Suffering In Pain, Perplexity And Promotion, By Bob Sogy?

    1286 Words  | 3 Pages

    What will you do now? Will you fall down before your Creator and worship? Or will you listen to the voices in your ear that accuse God, and then get angry at Him? Will you worship or will you curse?” – Suffering gives you a chance to prove to yourself and to God that you really want Him. That when you go to church on Sunday or when you pray in the morning, you do not do it out of a routine but that you truly mean it. In another book, Bob Sorge wrote about intimacy with God, he said, “God-worshipers are those who come to God first in their time of need. They seek God’s face and wait on Him to receive directives for the course to take. The secret place becomes the threshold where we wait upon God, seeking His powerful intervention, and crying out to Him for wisdom and

    When thinking about the things that come into our life we may or may not cherish everything. The things that we do cherish we place in our own personal table. My personal table chart has three categories which are inner life, outer life, and corporate/community life. When I look at inner life, I see it as being the things that are most close to me and that I care for the most. When seeing outer life, I look at it as things that are close to me which may not be as close as inner life, but still important to me.

  • Prayer - The Most Important Part of our Life

    746 Words  | 2 Pages

    Prayer is a very important action in all of us as Christians. We should know why we pray and why it is important. We should also know that prayer cant just come from our mouths but from our hearts as well. Our affections cling to self and to worldly objectives; our prayer cannot rise above their level no matter what words we use. In Luke 11:1 it says “ Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.” we should be taught to pray either from the church or from the people around us. Taught in a sense of listening, not actually taking lessons on it. We need to pray because prayer is the most important part of the thank...
