The Ultimate Value and the signs of it in ourselves.

The Ultimate Value and the signs of it in ourselves.
I think I understand what you mean; that the value of anything is alway subjective, it's just that some units of measurement are more precise than others? But if three people all measure the moon with the same tool, the same way, in the same units, at the same time, they would all get the same objective, numeric value. On the other hand, I could say - I love the moon, it is so majestic, I can't wait for it to rise every night. I can't fall asleep until I see it in the sky. And you could say - eh, I don't really care much about the moon, I never even notice it's there. That's subjective, as in we assign a different degree of value to it.
Nay_Sayer: “Nothing is impossible if you dream big enough, or in this case, nothing is impossible if you use a barrel of KY Jelly and a miniature horse.”

Wiser words were never spoken.
