HOW DO WE JUDGE OUR VALUE SYSTEM?

How do we put our value system to the test?

 I believe there are only two tests. The ultimate test is called the Mama Test.

 Whenever you are doing,

 whatever you are doing, 

wherever and with whomever,

 at home or at work, 

alone or with someone,

 if values are in question, 

ask yourself, "If my mama were to see me doing what I am doing right now, would she be proud of me and say "Attaboy!" or would she hang her head in shame?" Your values would be clarified rather quickly. If you passed the Mama Test and failed all other tests, you have passed. If you failed the Mama Test and passed all other tests, you have failed. This is worth repeating. Think about it. Whenever you need value clarification, ask yourself, "If my mama were to see me doing whatever I am doing would she be proud of me and say "Attaboy!" or would she hang her head in shame?" The clouds will clear rather quickly and you will get your answers easily.

If the Mama Test doesn't do it, I have another test called the Baba Test.

 Whenever you are doing, whatever you are doing, wherever and with whomever, at home or at work, alone or with someone, if values are in question, ask yourself, "If my children were to see me doing what I am doing right now, would I want them to see it, or would I be embarrassed?" Again the clouds will clear rather quickly and you will get your answers. If these two tests don't clarify a person's values, then that person is no longer a human being and has no conscience left.
