New Testament arguments

Unless we're discussing food, water, or breathable air, all value is relative.

It's an important lesson to learn.

The funny thing is, even the things you've listed are, ultimately, relatively valuable; they might be valuable to humans, but breathable air would mean nothing to, say, an organism that breathes methane, and water would be completely useless to an organism with a composition high in potassium. We're still just talking about value relative to human beings.

Conversely, all of those things have much higher value to a person in desperate need of them, than they would to a person who has them in abundance. It's almost as if value is a contextual concept, not a hard and fast objective standard...
