I got a question for you:

What is the ONE thing people value
more highly than anything else?

Is it:

Their life (and good health as part of that life, including, physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health)? Must be, right?

Their freedom? For what is prison but taking away someone’s freedom?

Their time? Each of us, powerful or weak, prince or pauper, only has 24 hours passing like unrecoverable water flowing down a great river. Without time, can we actually live?

Their family, their friends? And by extended definition, their connection and participation in community, in society? Isn’t it true that without connections, the human part of us dies?

Their respect and appreciation, including self-respect and self-appreciation and approval from those who are important to them, whether family, friends, peers, the community, or people in general? (These are forms of love, and love is absolutely essential to life and breath is to the body.)

Their assets, their stuff? For many people, this is extremely important, and nations go to war to protect their stuff or to acquire more stuff.

What is the one thing of greatest value to anyone? Life itself, right?

That ONE thing people value more
highly than anything else:
