After a few months of study i have come to my conclusion.

A humans value is a matter of perspective as well as in association to something else that a majority finds value in.

Same concept as money.

Money has no value unless associated to something else that other people value.

Life is not valuable. We just tell ourselves we are valuable or other people makes us feel as if we have value.
That sense of value can easily be stripped by labels or ignorance deppending on what other believe in you and how you handle yourself.

Example: celebrity is just a human. We give them extra value in association to the role they play.

Wow I've never heard such a bizarre view on life. What a dismal way to look at living. It's your view . I'm glad not many will agree with you.

@Gibbon given what i have learned about history and what i have experienced in my life, i believe i have seen enough for this life time. There is nothing of value to experience in this era. I have been questioning existance and human nature to determine a purpose for all this and found there is none. We are just mindless animals enthralled by those who portray themselves as higher value for personal gain. What is the purpose of self awareness when you understand there is no purpose. Its just always been survival of the fittest while that majority is kept unfit to negate resistance. When my body begins its decline i do not see a reason to cling to this existance and experience old age. It just isnt necessary.

@GuyWithOpinions What you may have experienced doesn't apply to the majority. It's very sad how you have summed things up but I personally think your view is absolutely ridiculous. You do you don't expect the rest of us to be so pessimistic.

We all hold value..

@being if that were true we wouldnt have war, famine, rape, murder or tourcher in our history. But we do. Since the beggining of human history some have destroyed others for personal gain neglecting them as valuable.

Value is a perspective given to us. Not a birth right. Who ever has the loudest voice is who decides value. Weather its a king, president or someone we look up to, we are taught who to value therefore the value of a person is a man made concept that doesnt have value in itself.

We are animals who think we rule the world because we have no other opposition.

@GuyWithOpinions we all hold value, doesn't mean... we all can see that.
Yet we all are very important.

Not that this applies to you ,but that sounds like the philosophy of a serial killer.
