A week ago, I was watching a movie called “Worth”.
This was my first time watching it all entirely as I didn’t get to complete or even start in since I was heading to work.

This movie is about a lawyer named Kenneth Feinberg.
He helped people, in the movie and inspired by true-life events that happened on September 11th 2001, that were affected by the events of that day.

I could not help but keep on pausing this movie to really think and feel for those who were affected.
The anguish, politics, greed, bureaucracy, pain that they went through then…and now!
How their experiences just became words on paper and numbers in some box files!

There was one person in the movie that kept on pushing Kenneth to do the “right thing”.
(I want you see this cynicism for yourself).
He asked him one question that hasn’t left my mind since.
“How much are you worth?”

I want you to really think about that.
“How much am I worth?”
For those who know already how much they are worth,

Please share with us a figure.
We might need it as a yardstick!
LOL, that is a tough question indeed! I have no clue but can we answer priceless just like everyone else?
👍🙏🏽 I think we can.
Worth (when not even putting to a persons life) is such a personal value in my opinion because what is worth one to a person is worth totally different to another whether it be a car, a house, a job, a vacation, etc… But I think the moment we put a pricetag on a human life we open the question up to so much more.
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Well, if you’re referring to financial net worth, I do an actual calculation every quarter! LOL! I know that businesses will often use financial calculations of worth to determine whether or not to make changes to products that would potentially save lives. And yes, they then compare the overall cost to the value of the lives saved, and make their decision from there.
👍🙏🏽
I’ll have to look out for this! As morbid as it sounds, I like watching dramatized versions of true life events!
🙏🏽👍
That was a hard question, this looks like a really great movie that I need to check out!
🙏🏽👍
We will definitely be watching this movie. Worth is so subjective and so this will be interesting to debate after watching x
🙏🏽👍
This sounds like a very thought-provoking movie. I’ll have to reflect on the question to say what’s one’s own worth. In the meantime – I’m going to check out this film.
👍👍
This sounds like quite a fascinating movie to watch. It’s an intriguing question, how much are we worth, what a great theme for a movie. Thanks for the recommendation.
🙏🏽👍
Definitely food for thought. All about what you make of it! This sounds like an interesting movie – I had not heard of it.
🙏🏽👍
I haven’t seen this movie, I’m definitely going to check it out. How much am I worth? Baby, I am priceless! 😉
😂👏🏿❤️
It’s not easy to determine what a person is worth. Financially, yes, you can figure it out. But what am I worth as a mother, a wife, a sister, a daughter, a friend, a school mentor…. all the things that I do in life.
👏🏿👍
Most of us really don’t think of how much we value ourselves, I mean, no amount of money ever deserves to worth or be put as a price for anyone. Only the Lord can judge us, I don’t think He will ever put a price on anyone of us, because all of us are important.
👏🏿🙏🏽👍
This is actually one of the best films I’ve seen this year! Great question after watching it.
🙏🏽👍👏🏿
This movie is great. It sensitively depicts the aftermath of 9/11: the suffering of those left behind.
😩👍
I love this movie because it rather tells a real story about what really happened to real people.
👏🏿👍
Yeah, an old and hard question, old as humankind itself. Hopefully, I will never have to answer it…
😩👍
It’s incredible how far we’ve come since the attack. There’s no amount of money you would say people are worth because, at the end of the day, we are always against each other.
😩😩😩
Worth? It’s terrible that some people put a price tag on human life. I would never want a job that involved doing something like that.
👏🏿👍
Sounds like a great movie. I cannot wait to watch it.
👏🏿👍 it is.
I’d say im worth everything. No money can be placed as my worth! Life is precious.
🙏🏽👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
I am sorry for all those who are affected by this sad reality. This made me think about how much I am worth.
Anyway, would love to watch this movie. Thank you for sharing.
👏🏿👍
Quite an interesting show. Let me find this on Netflix. One’s worth is a question that pops up in anybody’s head, I guess. Some may think about monetary worth but in the end, one’s worth depends on how much a person thinks about himself.
🙏🏽👏🏿
Honestly, it’s not easy to know how much you are worth. Though, this movie is interesting and never seen it before.
🙏🏽👏🏿
I am a lawyer myself but how much I am worth never crossed my mind. I should watch this movie soonest.
🙏🏽👏🏿
