"Christian tradition sweeps away the notion of the useless person, of time without meaning, of the purely banal act. In the Christian perspective, each one of a person's actions is for the whole world. Each act assumes a cosmic dignity . . . from washing dishes to guiding the Church, from caring for a child to governing a country. In this perspective, the person is free from circumstance. Chance does not determine her value. She can be great, she can journey to perfection, even under the worst or the most humble of conditions." ~ Luigi Giussani, Why the Church? (p39). [The Kitchen, 1858 - James McNeill Whistler]

Objective value doesn’t exist. Necessities, like water, are only valuable because humans need them to survive; if living beings that relied on water to exist didn’t exist then water would have no value. The same is true for everything, money, minerals ect., if we, as a society, didn’t give these things value then they would have no value. Universal value only exists when most people in a given society give a value to the same object, like money, it needs to be reciprocated for it to work.
