   Agree 100%. There must be someone to experience value for value to   
   exist. Subjectivity is inherent to valuation.

   I am not beyond restraint. 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.
