Journal m0smithslash's Journal: What is precious? 2

The things of least value in the long-run are the things that are diminished in the using: moeny, cars, property, clothes, etc. The things of most value are the things that are increased in the using: love, charity, health, etc. Somethings, like people, fall into either category. You can use them in such a way that they are used up. Contrarywise, you can "use" people in such as way as they are increased afterwards. Its up to you.

    • I hadn't thought about it in that way, good thought. This could be said of all the precious things. They are only made precious by the using. If not use, they diminish, jsut as using the non-precious things diminishes them. Use it or lose it?
