Comodifying value into valubles, here is the nature of evil.

What is the value of 300 ML of water? A glass of water, a mere nothing if you want ot buy it.

What is the value of 300 ML of water after 7 days in the desert without a drop of water and no chance in sight to reach an oasis or bump into somebody that can give you a glass of water?

Invaluble, priceless, life saving. You'd pay anything you have just to save your life.

Let me clue you, in both cases the value is the same: life.

But in the second case you actually understand that on your own skin, because in the first case you look at the comodifies price of water at the market rate, not at it's value, that is: life.

But you should look at it's value in both cases regardless of the price, water is water, water is life, that is the value of water, not the money you pay for it, them are just the price and do not reflect the value.

At all.

On the other hand what is the value of diamonds? Nothing, some stone that look better for some people than some other stones.

But what is the price you are ready to pay for them? Huge as long as your life does not depend on lack of water, than you realise diamonds are nothing, they do not create nor sustain life.

And that is the issue with human society, we comodify values and tag them with a price, some values are huge but we tag them as cheap, and some values are cheap but we are willing to pay huge money for them.

Matter of perspective, perception of reality, and perception can be easilly skewed by cunning crooks if you do not have intrinsec values in your mind, your core values, and you don't, because you are ready to pay a lot for absolutelly not valuble branded things just because... branded, and take life for granted and deem it cheap because you have no real values in your mind, at all.
