Worth a penny and a fish tank

I'm not worth much... I mean if you offered me a penny and a fish tank I would surely be at your beck and call, that's just me really. I mean what composes my body really? Oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen. That's the bulk of what forms my skin and so on. But there's more. There's much more to this simple composition. We're all brittle body masses but we are strong. Not by what makes us by what we make of ourselves. We are human, but what of each person? What is an individual worth and how do you reach a conclusion to how much they cost? At one point we as humankind judged this by skin color and social class but have we changed really? Sure we have progressed but there is still those who see themselves higher than others. I used to have someone very close to me who thought themselves better than I. They never vocalized or discriminated but I knew they looked down on me. It hurt I suppose but what is pain if you are a human? I have a point to this whole mess of random ideas. They are all relevant I promise just bear with me. See, everyone is riding a horse but some like to boast that their horse is slightly taller than others when in all actuality we are all on the same plain. We are even and we all equal a greater whole than each individual amounts to. We are all humans and we are all built with the key components of oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen. If this is fact than it can be stated that nothing makes me better than the scruffy homeless man who pilfers your trash can for food, for him and I are each an individual that forms a greater whole. Humanity. Nothing higher nor below.
