Hannah's theory of Human Doing:
Humanity's worth lies in her/his ablity to DO. Value, honor, and promotion are all based on the ability to accomplish deeds, tasks, work. Kudos are given according to amounts of work. The Human Doing places all passion into doing something the right way. This Human Doing measures others by their ability to accomplish large amounts of work. Competition is key.
This Human Doing gets old, breaks a leg, and capacity to DO is limited. Human Doing's value decreases. Kudos cease to be given, because production has ceased...stopped DOING. This Human DOING is worthless, because DOING has ceased.
Hannah's theory of Human Being:
Humanity's worth lies in ability to exist. Value, honor and promotion are all based on how the existence is sustained and maintained. HOW the work, deeds, and tasks are accomplished. Kudos are given based on this Human Beings character during existence. The Human Being places all passion into being the right person. The Human Being measures others by their BEING character.
This Human Being gets old, breaks a leg, and his/her capacity to be is NOT limited. His/her value does NOT decrease. Kudoes do NOT cease unless the BEING fails to "be" with stellar character. This Human BEING is ABLE to live a worthwhile life, because HUMANITY CANNOT HELP BUT BE.
Consider: Try to understand worth based on someone's existance and NOT on their accomplishments. It humbles the rich and raises the poor. DOING and BEING are both existences, which require Divine Intervention. Why? Because Old Age and Death eventually remove Doing and Being from being an option.

good thoughts. let's talk more. :) i suppose if we measure one by their "BEING" character.. we are really measuring their doing.. are we foremost HumanBEINGS or HumanDOINGS? i know my spirituality has often been from trying to do.. i need to work on God seeing me for how I "BE" with the great "I AM"
good thoughts hannah, thanks. we definitely tend to measure our existence by our perceived motion, but such a valuation is misguided. it makes me think of paul tillich's argument about God as the ground of our being.
Hannah I really liked that post :- )
