Charles Handy thought for the day on how money and profit can affect feelings of self-worth, and how society should do more to demonstrate that everyone and their individual contribution matters. Handy begins the thought explaining how the salaries of business executives and schoolteachers differ, and how money functions as both a commodity and a reward for services. It is because money's identity is rooted in a confusion of categories that it distorts our sense of worth, according to logic. Handy closes the thought arguing that all people matter and that society should do more to discover what it is that each person can contribute.
