Mystic, part of me actually sympathizes with you, because I feel like you are wrestling nightmarishly with something you will never be able to pin down. It seems like it is eating you up inside. Don't let these thoughts keep you up at night! Just live life as it appears in front of you.
First, the moon and people are not analogous. It's like when people compare metabolism to the engine of a car. Sounds like a neat comparison, but humans are in fact, NOT cars. It's an oversimplified and inaccurate analogy.
Second, I feel like you don't understand use of the word "value" when it comes to objective versus subjective. You can measure the size of the moon, and you can measure how tall I am. Those are objective values. My family subjectively values me because they love me and would be upset if I died. I subjectively value the moon because I think it's pretty, and helps me to see when I am driving at night. Understand?
