The highest value to possess is compassion, as it begets laziness, tyranny and sharpens the intellect towards achieving the goal of common good.

--The values contained in the Bible, not religion!

--Most choose not to accept these values as this report shows:

*** g03 6/8 Are Values on the Decline? ***

Needed—A Moral Compass

When asked, “What matters least in life?” the majority of those polled by the Gallup organization chose “being faithful to my religion” as one of the two least important things. Not surprisingly, then, church attendance continues to decline. Professor Inglehart suggests that the prosperity of Western lands has “produced an unprecedented sense of security” and that “this has diminished the need for the reassurance that religion traditionally provided.”

Declining confidence in organized religion is paralleled by a loss of confidence in the Bible. In one international survey, respondents were asked whom or what they relied upon when it came to knowing what is morally right. The vast majority cited personal experience. “God’s word was a very distant second,” says the survey report.

Little wonder that values are changing for the worse! A lack of a moral compass, along with an increasing emphasis on materialistic goals and selfish individualism, has promoted a culture of greed and indifference to the feelings of others. What important things have been lost as a result of these changes?

That is a matter of opinion. I believe that it is acceptance. If you do not have compassion for gays, have acceptance. If you do not think life is fair, accept life as it is, and you will be happier for it. Accepting is apart of life, but learing to balance it with always trying to achieving a higher goal, and not just accepting yourslef as lesser, while accepting your obstacles is the highest acievement one can have.
You really have to decide, though, what the highest value to posses is yourself, because it is just a matter of opinion.

The highest value to possess is perserverance. Perserverance is a quality that will help you get through all things, good or bad. Perserverance is a quality that helps you reach your goals. Perserverance gets you a good job, which gets you good money and, consequentially, a good life. If you are always working hard and never give up, then you can go through life with minimal suffering.
