“The Worth of Things”

What worth is a life,
if it does not strive for others?

What worth is a stream’s flow,
if it does not quench the thirst of mute cattle?

What worth is an umbrella,
if it cannot withstand the rain or block the sun?

What worth is a footstep,
if it moves noisily, yet never truly moves forward?



The poem carries a deep moral message 🌿

It says that everything in life—whether a person, a river, an umbrella, or even footsteps—only has meaning if it fulfills its true purpose.

A life without helping others is meaningless.

A river that doesn’t quench thirst serves no purpose.

An umbrella that fails to protect is useless.

A step that makes noise but never moves forward is empty.


👉 Moral: True worth lies in being useful, purposeful, and meaningful to others—not just in existing.
