Value

I have come to realize that humans always seem to need to put a price tag on things. Whether its a picture, an animal, or a beautiful sunset humans always seem to need to place some sort of value. These values can be either intrinsic or instrumental. However, I believe that objects can be valuable without ever having to place value on them. I think this is especially true of the natural world. I believe that nature and the natural world have value within itself. As much as I hate ticks, I still believe that they have some purpose on this earth and have their own form of value. This may be something I never truly understand, but I think it's true. I think that everything on this earth has some sort of purpose and was meant to be here for a reason. I am just tired of people always trying to find that reason or understanding for it. There is a point where humans can no longer place value on items, they just have to see it for what it is. The world works in mysterious ways and sometimes we just have to accept this without being able to see the full picture. I also think that it is time for humans to stop placing values on things because it makes us selfish. Not everything on this earth is meant for us. Humans constantly take, take, take, and they hardly remember to give back. By placing value on things we only select things that we see as having some sort of benefit for our needs. Instead, we should be looking at something bigger than ourselves, the earth. It is time we start addressing the earth's needs and just appreciating all of the earth's inhabitants without placing any sort of value on them. Then we may begin to understand the ways of this world.
