Mattering is subjective.
When someone who is greater than you walks into the room you feel uncomfortable because you feel as if you don’t matter. And nobody wants to feel as if they don’t matter. It’s built into our DNA to matter to have purpose and when we don’t we are depressed and nothing “works.” So what is mattering and why do we want it so bad and why do we feel so inadequate when someone matters more than us. I’m not asking why in reference to human psychology I’m asking why it matters (literally and figuratively). Mattering really has to do with the creation of our identity. Our identity is what we create ourselves to be versus the situations we are put against. So really in essence we create what matters to us and not so much what actually matters necessarily. Because at the end of the day the only thing we have is the identity we have created and we have no idea which parts of that identity really matter or not. Unless we understand what real existence looks like because in essence that is what everyone is searching for to create themselves to be: real existence or matter. Most people sense what real existence is which is giving. And I’ll leave you with a question to ponder. Why is giving to another establishing more of our matter shouldn’t it be the other way around?
