00:00:03.566 --> 00:00:05.600
I am not merely
an economic unit
00:00:05.633 --> 00:00:07.433
I am human
00:00:07.466 --> 00:00:09.400
How far off are we that that
can sound confusing
00:00:09.433 --> 00:00:10.533
I want to strive for more
00:00:10.566 --> 00:00:12.466
But oftentimes I
don't know how to
00:00:12.500 --> 00:00:16.200
I need a new money that measures
my inherent value
00:00:16.233 --> 00:00:17.333
What's your salary,
what's your rate
00:00:17.366 --> 00:00:18.500
What's your hourly wage
00:00:18.533 --> 00:00:19.600
What's your position,
your commission
00:00:19.633 --> 00:00:21.366
How much are you for the day
00:00:21.400 --> 00:00:22.500
When we meet somebody new
00:00:22.533 --> 00:00:24.366
What is the first
thing that we say
00:00:24.400 --> 00:00:26.133
What do you do, Aka
00:00:26.166 --> 00:00:27.333
How much money do you make
00:00:27.366 --> 00:00:29.133
And then we take
that information
00:00:29.166 --> 00:00:31.166
And we sort it in our brains,
assess the value
00:00:31.200 --> 00:00:33.166
Calculate where to put
them on the page
00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:34.366
The hierarchy of importance
00:00:34.400 --> 00:00:36.300
I mean, this is just insane
00:00:36.333 --> 00:00:37.466
You're telling me
that we've agreed
00:00:37.500 --> 00:00:40.233
To tie self-worth
to what we're paid
00:00:40.266 --> 00:00:41.533
You're telling me
that we've agreed
00:00:41.566 --> 00:00:44.400
To tie self-worth
to what we're paid
00:00:44.433 --> 00:00:45.600
Well, what a grave
mistake to make
00:00:45.633 --> 00:00:47.233
What terrible advice to take
00:00:47.266 --> 00:00:49.133
If the scoreboard
counts in dollars
00:00:49.166 --> 00:00:50.533
What kind of game you'd
think we'll play
00:00:50.566 --> 00:00:52.566
Yo, I am not merely
an economic unit
00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:54.400
I am human
00:00:54.433 --> 00:00:56.466
How far off are we that that
can sound confusing
00:00:56.500 --> 00:00:57.600
I want to strive for more
00:00:57.633 --> 00:00:59.400
But oftentimes I
don't know how to
00:00:59.433 --> 00:01:03.200
I need a new money, that measures
my inherent value
00:01:03.233 --> 00:01:04.533
But like my
four-year-old asking Why
00:01:04.566 --> 00:01:06.400
Until she's blue in the face
00:01:06.433 --> 00:01:09.566
My inner child inquires about
this money that we make
00:01:09.600 --> 00:01:11.500
Why, I make money
because I need it
00:01:11.533 --> 00:01:13.500
Why, so I can have
financial freedom
00:01:13.533 --> 00:01:15.300
Why, so I can keep up
with the Joneses
00:01:15.333 --> 00:01:16.566
Why, so someday
I can own a home
00:01:16.600 --> 00:01:18.400
And why, so I can climb
the social ladder
00:01:18.433 --> 00:01:20.166
Why, so I feel
like I even matter
00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:21.566
Why
00:01:21.600 --> 00:01:22.700
Because I'm constantly worried
that I won't be enough
00:01:22.733 --> 00:01:24.466
Why
00:01:24.500 --> 00:01:27.100
Because I'm worried without money,
I'm not worthy of love
