There must be someone to experience value for value to       exist. Subjectivity is inherent to valuation.              > That said, how do you look upon yourself? Beyond all restraints?

I am situated in a context that provides       constraints. E.g. I have a body that has needs and informs what I value,       I am part of a family that also informs my values.              These constraints also afford freedoms. My choices (past, present and       future, actual and potential) inform my values.              I am an evolving context of choices that informs my values.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
