The use it has towards you at that moment is not totally arbitrary. And without belief that you have an objective value, you cannot value those things to you. Any self love or self value you have, shows you believe you do have value. You may not love yourself as you are meant to or may love yourself in a way your not suppose to, but you know very well you have an objective value.
Eating for example your favorite food. You make go out of your way because the food let's say is not so simple. You do that because you believe there is value to who you are.
Of course to say there is objective value is not to say there isn't subjective value and that somethings are not purely subjective. However human value is both subjective and objective. Our subjective value is related with our belief in objective value. Also a lot of the subjective value is related to objective to objective value interaction. For example, a Mom and her son, there is a special relationship that is subjective but it should be more special and different then just a stranger to a stranger relationship, and that it is due to the nature of value.
The same is true of our relationship with God. If we try to get close to God, constantly call upon him...then the relationship between God and that person, is not the same as a person who ignores God and neglects him.
And those who never disobeyed him or showed utmost sincerity and effort to please him, have a special relationship with God that we never can attain.
Also while I believe some people lack emotions in love and compassion, they can through reason value and love in a different way. Not everything has to be driven by emotion.
Some people lacking empathy, can reason their way, that humans ought to be valued.
