The meaning of price and value
"Value" refers to the real value, and "price" is an artificial label called "marked price". The value can be determined, but the price is not necessarily; Bargaining means that buyers and sellers try to strike a balance between price and value; The seller wants the price to exceed the value, and the buyer wants the value to exceed the price. The seller makes an offer first, but the buyer thinks the price is too high.
The seller said, "value for money" means that the money you spend on this thing is worth it.
The buyer said, "I just want to buy things because they are worth it;" But this thing is not worth the price "means that the price is higher than the value and it is not worth buying."
The seller said that "a penny for a penny" means that the price and value are equal.
The buyer said, "I think it's a penny for a penny." It's worthless. Don't buy! " "It means reducing the price by 50%.
The seller said, "Well, I'll sell it to you at half price." Now the buyer probably knows that he has been cheated, but the fish has been hooked and he has to bite the bullet and pay. What are the reasons for being fooled? Is that the buyer doesn't know the real value of that thing in his heart? Traveling abroad, ten things, nine things! Because I don't know enough about what I want to buy (especially medicinal materials, jade, antiques, etc. ), I can't make a correct value judgment; With a simple idea: if you cut the price by half, you will not lose money. But those profiteers have long understood the psychology of customers (especially tourists), asking you to reduce the price by half, then deducting half from the tour guide and earning half from you!
Things have their value, and so does the price. If the price is greater than the value of something, it is not worth buying, and it is unwise to buy it.
Intelligence is the ability to make correct value judgments and choices. Including all the choices in life, even the choice of life and death. The Lord Jesus gave his life voluntarily, and its value lies in saving all mankind from extinction and gaining eternal life. Paul is also faced with the choice of life and death. In the end, he chose life, and the value of life is to help and meet the needs of the church (Philippians 1: 2 1-24).
Subjective and objective, relative and absolute value
Subjectivity and relative value: due to people, time and place. Or other factors, there is a big value gap! Such as photos, emails, certificates, souvenirs, "charcoal" in the snow, "an old friend from the most difficult period", a drowning trunk ... may be worthless to others, but at other times or places (such as charcoal and trunk), it can be regarded as priceless to the parties concerned, even equal to the value of life!
Objective and absolute value: there is value that will never change, and there is value that will not change with any factors. Human life has objective and absolute value.
Others seem relative and absolute, depending on the angle; For example, gold, famous paintings and famous songs can be regarded as useless things for laymen who don't know the goods, but they are treasures for experts who know the goods. But this "absolute" value is still different from the "absolute" value of human life. Although gold will not lose its value because it is called copper; But for a person trapped on a desert island, Duran flower is not as good as the fruit on the tree, and its value is still not really absolute. Only man has absolute value, because man's value is affirmed by God, and God is the unchangeable foundation of all values. The Lord Jesus said that man's value is higher than the whole world. If people want to exchange their lives with the whole world, it is a stupid decision, because it is a wrong value judgment!
Christian values of life
1, human life has absolute value and extremely high value!
Is human value objective, absolute or subjective? Aren't there "big people", "little people", "very important people" (V.I.P) and "little people" in society? It's not news that thousands of people starve to death every day, but some people get sick or injured and it will be front page news! The world has no standards for human values. If you want to know the price of life from the newspaper? What is the price of life? It will only confuse you forever!
What is the price of life? What is the price of life? The Bible affirms that human life is extremely precious:
"Those who rely on wealth and boast about their wealth can't redeem their brothers, nor can they give the ransom to God for him, so that he can live for a long time without corruption; Because the value of saving his life is extremely expensive, he can only give up forever. " (Psalm 49: 7-9) "It is extremely precious to watch the death of saints in the eyes of the Lord." (Ps。 1 16: 15) "What good is it for a man to gain the whole world and lose his own life? What else can people exchange for life? " (Matt. 16:26) "Man has the highest value among all creatures, which can be known from the fact that God sent his only son to lay down his life for others."
Everyone's life value is different.
"Life is valuable, so why describe it? Good people are like grains, and people are like weeds. " -Wu Jiaji's poem "Life is valuable and useful"
