"there’s a pervasive myth that has seeped into every corner of our current reality claiming that in order to have a meaningful life, we’re told that worth is measured in titles, achievements, and the scope of our influence. "

The formerly most pervasive myth in my culture required that in order to live a good life we should strive to treat others well.

Not many did it but it seems a good aspiration, to base my self-esteem on how I treat others rather than on how they view me.
