Memorabilia

Value. Mostly seen as the monetary worth of a product or service.Value should be measured by what said product or service can offer you in your particular context, not by an economists’ perception of the generic worth of a thing to a mass of people. A thing which may bring tremendous value to one person could be of no consequence to another, and could, in some cases even put the other at a disadvantage.

I believe in products and services where there is inherent value in the trade of goods or the transfer of knowledge to both parties.

Sadly, we see a lot of companies producing things that are very valuable to few and useless to many. There is a certain element of greed and selfishness that is centered around being a part of this exclusive “club” of the haves, and there is a strange respect awarded to those who are in this club – much like the reverence shown to a rich and ruthless king by his disenfranchised subjects. If this disproportionate distribution of value can bring new opportunities, then some of it will certainly be re-distributed. But not at a sustainable pace, and not in the true spirit of community. It will be driven by more greed spurned by grab-and-go mentality that has become a disease of the modern world.
