"Everyone values things differently. In other words, they place their own value on everything that affects their lives. Also from moment to moment they may even change their values. Such as a person, who values diamonds above all else, might be willing to trade a gallon of diamonds for a drink of water to save his life in a desert.

Yet, how many people will argue and even violently fight over the perceived value of something or some idea only later have an entirely different view point or value." »Sidney Madwed
