    Can you name anything that has value outside of what people assign to it? Even money or gold only has worth because we believe it does...

  • Freshwater.  That's why there are so many laws pertaining to water rights and they are so broad and varied.   Without them people would be able to charge a fortune for the only supplies.

    Value is what we  impute to anything JA. It all  begins and ends with human perception/judgment.  We value different things for different reasons based upon many things such as our character/nature/intellect/experience/temperament/maturity. We cannot remove ourselves from ourselves no matter we do, say, think. Well maybe a schizophrenic can. So you agree that nothing has intrinsic value. Only that which we ascribe to it. Thank you for your reply JA and Happy Tuesday.

    There is so much WRONG with this that I don't know where to begin.

    1.  Talk is dependent.  That is correct. It is dependent on the speaker and the listener.  It is an art.  The mind and the voice and the soul should all be in sync.  If they are not?  You have nonsense.

    Just like food.  It is nothing unless it is the right food at the right time, picked with discernment for the situation and chosen for positive reasons.

    Words properly addressed are food for the mind like no other food.

    I think you need to change your diet.

    Hello Rosie:

    Talk is cheap, but words are not.

     I disagree with thee completely. There is no talk without words excon. If talk is cheap the words which are used OF NECESSITY are also cheap. So we don't agree! So what? Thank you for your reply and Happy Tuesday! :)
