On a scale of 0-100:
How valued are you by others?
How much meaning do you have in life?
How much health do you have?
How stable is your community?
How positive are you about your future?
How much do you feel loved?
How much do you love?
In most of those questions the answer is the same: Could be better, could be worse. Talking about health I am just glad that I am not paralyzed/ and I still have some kind of memory. even if it is not great some memory is still nice to have.

Imagine a world where value was attached 1:1 with trade, rather than all the derivatives that make up three quarters of all the "wealth" in the world.
