Value Calculations for Life and Time, A dillema

I am a preschool teacher. I have the best job in the world, besides possibly, being a "non-working" mother. (to be seen- hopefully)

Caring-for and raising children is worth an hourly wage of at least $88/hour here in the west coast of the USA in 2025. 

Why? If you factor in basic living costs, and then add-in societal and spiritual value for the entire future of the entire race of human beings or literally a maximum of 34 families per year. (If one year the class size is 17, and every child is raised to success and gets married and creates their own families someday).

And if I go to the store and buy some sanitizing wipes for my kids to stay healthy and clean, it costs me $10. $10 is equivalent to 30 minutes of my time at work. Most of us preschool teachers think; $10 is so little; I don't need to report it to my boss for reimbursement, and I, like them, threw away my receipt in the trash rather than going through the effort of reporting it to my boss for reimbursement. 

30 minutes!!!!!

for some hand-wipes

How many of those 30 minutes do we even have every day? 

wake up 7:30 comfortably... 0 work until 9:00 am... 9:00-12:00 is 8 (30 minutes).... You don't work for half an hour if you care about yourself. then 12:30-5:30 is 10 more (30 minutes)

we ONLY HAVE 18 - $10 hand wipes PER DAY

I CANT ACCEPT THIS

What can I do?

I must either: 

- accept that money is meaningless and just a means to an end

- accept a life of "free-loading" or poverty as higher-status or more authentic

OR

- fight against everyone and everything everywhere to try to get people to WAKE UP AND SEE HOW MUCH ABUSE IS TAKING PLACE

ABUSE ABUSE ABUSE ABUSE ABUSE ABUSE ABUSE ABUSE ABUSE ABUSE ABUSE ABUSE ABUSE ABUSE ABUSE ABUSE ABUSE ABUSE ABUSE ABUSE ABUSE ABUSE ABUSE ABUSE ABUSE ABUSE ABUSE ABUSE ABUSE ABUSE ABUSE ABUSE ABUSE ABUSE ABUSE

Do people treat me like I am a slave serving them at my own cost? No

Will they? No

Should they?

I don't want to be treated that way but People SHOULD be HONEST about WHAT THEY ARE DOING 

AND NOBODY IS BEING HONEST.

When will the world wake-up. Everyone was lied-to when they were told that they would be able to have a roof over their heads and do whatever they wanted to do. "the american dream"

The Freedom in Letting Go--And oh is it so so hard

 Life is so long and we weigh ourselves down so heavily by keeping track of every second.

But it is the most emotionally challenging method for me. It's not for everyone.
But we all have a choice we make.
Do we want to live in the present moment and the future?
Or do we want to live in the past?

We keep so much data.

We keep data on everything. Every thought. Every noise. And we use so much energy to store it all.

We pollute and kill the planet to preserve our sense of control. Any sense of control. Control over who we know or don’t know. Control over knowing who we met etc. control over understanding and remembering and knowing everything. So much more than our brains are designed to keep track of. And we put it all on an equal level of importance for us: “stored”.

I wonder if we learned how to let go of the past, how much more value, peace, joy, clarity and hope we would have for the present and future.

I wonder if we got rid of all the things that we haven’t thought about or needed or used or cared about/ that haven’t fed us or given anything to us for x months/years, how much more brain capacity we would have and how much more energy and time we would have to love and live and appreciate the present moment.

Humans weren’t built to live the way we do. To store all this information about our lives. It isn’t healthy. It isn’t natural.

Memories are only as fond as we make them.

To try to remember every single memory we have ever had diminishes their value and their worth. If we only have a limited amount of attention, memory, energy and care to give… then we are dividing it all up into tiny tiny tiny pieces. Thousands. Millions or billions of tiny pieces.

We are wasting our precious life. Our precious memories. Our precious joys and our precious gifts.

I am not surprised by how many men and women have no ability to recollect information in their old age.

This is not a mystery. The answer is right in front of us.

I am going on a quest to clear out the data that I store on all platforms.

To save the things that spark joy and to let go of the things that are even just average.

It is hard. It is not easy.

But a energy healer also said that it is a quick trick to lead to manifestation to make space in your life for the things you want in your future.

You attract what you make space for and what you are. Not who you want to be or what you want to have without effort or change.

The easiest and maybe the healthiest way is to wipe it all clean. Delete all your photos on your phone. Delete your whole Facebook. Delete your instagram. Etc. etc.
