True Value

When we value something it is of little importance how much it costs. In fact when we have something of value it is priceless. The true value of something cannot be measured by its price or by how many others own the same thing. Nor is it measured by its scarcity. True value is measured by the benefit that a single item brings to the whole. No matter how small or insignificant the item might seem in comparison to the whole, its worth is compounded by the increase it gives to everything else. Unfortunately this is rarely realized before we lose the object itself and only then do we see and feel the void it left behind. Seek out whatever it is that you find of true value and appreciate it to your fullest capacity before it vanishes, for true value is hard to find and even more difficult to keep it once you have found it.
