quotations about value
To feed what you value, to align your energy, attention, time, and resources with what you say is important to you, starts to bring your power out of hiding. lt takes courage because most people are in a cultural trance where contradiction is the norm. There is a lot of cultural validation for living a life where you feed what you don't value instead of what you do. There is a lot of validation for remaining in the trance.

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN
letter to Madame Brillon, November 10, 1779
"Value" has no meaning other than in relationship to living beings. The value of a thing is always relative to a particular person, is completely personal and different in quantity for each living human--"market value" is a fiction, merely a rough guess at the average of personal values, all of which must be quantitatively different or trade would be impossible.

That which costs little is less valued.
