In obs-gyn Dr. Sangita’s newly released book called “Project Me” (Amazon link), she shares a fascinating observation, intimately linked to her profession of delivering babies.
She asks a pertinent question. When the baby has just been delivered, what is the value attached to the baby?
Surely you can’t assign a price to your baby. Every baby is most certainly priceless!
Imagine that! A baby, which cannot walk or talk or do anything else except cry, is priceless!
So Dr Sangita proceeds to ask us – why then do we as adults perceive ourselves and others to be of little value?
We have added so many skills to our repertoires as we’ve grown, and yet our price tags have eroded? Doesn’t make sense, does it!?
