Using Personal Bar Codes

My bar code can actually be scanned but does not reveal my self-worth.

Instead of truly valuing our souls, our hearts, the hearts of others, and letting our compassion rule our actions, we tend to measure our value on the external. We place too much value on possessions, success, IQ, comparing our appearance to those depicted in media, social action based upon social perception (needing to be noticed that we are doing good rather than doing good because it is the right thing to do). Maybe we should all just assign ourselves "bar codes" to determine our worth, eh?
