每個人都有其真正的價值-living without money（選譯4）

                                                              每個人都有其真正的價值
                                                                      every person has an intrinsic value
                                                                                          --Heidemarie Schewermer

What had, in part, led Schwermer to her conclusions about “stuff” was a year of psychotherapy after the breakdown of her marriage in the mid-1980s. It was a difficult year, she remembers: “I was in floods of tears nearly every session, but at the end of it I felt so happy and decided that I wanted to live more simply. I also wanted to pass on what I learnt in therapy to other people, and that’s when I began to train as a psychotherapist.

所擁有的“東西”的定義，斯庫唯美爾將其部分歸結於她在20世紀80年代中期的婚姻破裂後的一年的心理治療。那是很難的一年，她記得：“幾乎每個（治療）階段，我都眼淚成河。但是在（治療）結束後，我感到這樣的快樂,就決定我要生活得更簡單。我也想將我在治療期間所學傳遞給其他人，就是那個時候我開始訓練（自己）成為一名心理治療師。”

Other things changed. She took up meditation and began to realise how dissatisfied she was in her job. “I was always ill with flu or had backache and never realised the connection between my physical symptoms and my unhappiness at work.”
其他的事情發生了變化。她利用冥想開始認識到她對自己的工作是多麽不滿意。“我經常因為流感或背疼而生病，從來沒有認識到我的病症與我工作中的不快樂之間的聯係。”

In the wake of setting up her Tauschring, she began to experiment with other sorts of jobs on the side. “I was working in a kitchen for ten deutschmarks an hour and people were saying to me, ‘You went to university, you studied to do this?’ But I thought, well, every person has an intrinsic value, why should I be valued more for being a teacher or a therapist than for working in a kitchen?”

在建立她的易貨店之後，她邊開始體驗其他各種工作。“我在廚房工作每小時十個德國馬克，人們對我說，'你上過大學，你學習是為了做這個？'但是我想：不錯，每個人都有其真正的價值，為什麽我被評價為做教師或治療師比在廚房工作的價值多呢？”
