I would like to discuss the words 'worship' and 'worth.' Worship most definitely relates to religion in most of its usage. Usually worshipping God has some notion of celebrating the glory of one's conception of their creator. Worth has to do with the value of a thing. These days few things don't have price tags on them.
What if these words related to one another more? Isn't worship the celebration of that which you think is most worthy? The thing you ascribe the greatest worth to. Worth here obviously transcends dollars and cents and speaks more for the most important thing in the human life. In this case, why doesn't everyone worship? It is likely to be beneficial to any person to find what they deem most worthy in their life and to celebrate it's existence. Perhaps worship services ought not be confined to religious ceremonies. Furthermore, perhaps the different religious services aren't doing anything all that different. For the most part they just use different languages to describe the same things.
What do you find most worthy?
