So i was wondering today...what determines value of something. Is it the object or the persons view of the object

  1. what is value?

    what makes value? it is how something makes us feel? how well it can achieve a job or task? who determines how well something is done? does a pen do a better job writing a letter than a pencil? a crayon? a piece of chalk?

    I think Value is relative to the situation in which something is in question. chalk has a higher value when the writing surface is a blackboard, but less value when the surface is a piece of loose leaf. Is this a generally understood value? I think yes but why? who made it that way. is it because it truly does a better job creating and conveying a message we are trying to write on the surface, assuming that is our intent.

    I believe value is ingrained in us as we grow from young saplings into knowledgeable wise oaks that throw acorns at squirrels.
