Metaphysics of Value

If the Metaphysics of Quality
are jacked up,
then the Metaphysics of Value
are even moreso.
They simply cannot
be shared, and it's
that very Quality
that leads them
to become universal.
Quality is elusive,
Value is everywhere,
Value in the things
we place it, Value, as
a result, in our very hands,
the mutual hands of Value.
It's hard to talk about it
and not get caught up in it.
Value is the thing we don't
see, and the thing we
see everywhere. Quality
is intangible, Value tangible.
It's the thing we hate to
have, the thing that traps us,
and the thing we can't live
without. You can define
Value, but not Quality.
But it's still a Metaphysical
study. Because people
refuse to believe.
