Values are “realization of the missing”, “clarification of someone has it but not everyone”.
If everyone has it as abundant and ubiquitous, values are not realized. It is the norm. The norm is only realized in the condition, not the norm.
If no one has it, no value because no one knows what it is.
Values are cognitions. Cognitions of existence and inexistence. Without the recognition of both, values do not exist. Abundant existence is not a value. Real inexistence is not a value. Both existence and inexistence need to be recognized to create values.
When those who do not have it realize that they want to have it, a value emerges. To identify value, one needs to realize that some people do not possess it.
Recognizing a value is recognition of a missingness/absence/insufficiency. Abundance and ubiquity have no value because everyone has them, and no situation creates a need.
Creating value is making others recognize the missingness/absence/insufficiency.
You are alive because you are sufficient to be alive. You are fulfilled to be alive. Alive is abundant for you to think and feel. Your mind can think and feel because nothing is missed, absent, or insufficient. This value is realized only after you lose your health. Your abundance is suddenly realized by a lack of your abundance.
You are not missing anything to be alive.
Human society forces you to recognize the missingness/absence/insufficiency based on language cognition. Without language cognition, everything consists of current sense, and nothing is missed. Missing is impossible to cognize.
The value is important for the development of human societies. No doubt about it. The creation of values and the agreements made by others through positive feedback are the driving forces behind building human societies. This creates vested interests, which have values.
However, the value is not so important for an individual's life because one's life is only once, one at a time. Values will be valueless immediately after the moment your abundance is questioned.
Without the realization of missingness/absence/insufficiency, no improvement is expected. Live from hand to mouth like in Mother Nature. Values are cognitive illusions that guide humans in living in current societies.
