Why People Worth more than Things?

Well, let’s go to right to the question, why people worth more than things? We must, firt of all, analyze what makes something be valuable in our reality. What give value to the things? As na classic example let’s go to the most famous and desired minerals, the diamond and the gold. What makes them so expensive? The answer rests in the most important capitalist law, the Supply and Demand. What makes them expensive? Their rarity. The less quantity is available and less the natural occurrence the most expensive it is.

Our answer start to be drawn. Let’s think a little more before take our conclusion. How many of “you” exists? How many fathers and mothers do you have? And even having a lot of brothers, each one of them have a particular meaning for you. You can’t get rid of one and put other in his place. Each one is unique for you, as you are unique to the World. Each live or gone human carry a individual particle of rarity. Each one of us are irremediably irreplaceable. That’s why death is so painful. Cause in each death there is an irreparable loss. No matter how much comfort we try to find in the immortality of the soul doctrine, our feeling is of a definitive separation. The cry is of a total lost and an irreparable loss. This shows how valuable are persons, and how even unconsciously they worth more than anything. The loss of something never hurts more than the loss of someone.

And that’s why even existing thousands and thousands of people dying and coming to life every single day, each one comes or goes holding their irreplaceable and inestimable value. All this helps me to expose an argument of the reincarnation doctrine (that I personally don’t believe). If we are immortals and we live incarnating and reincarnating, life is not that rare and unique like this. Been replaceable or even disposable. The idea of the immortality of the soul, that preaches the ascension to heaven or the fall down to hell (or even a strategic stop on purgatory) helps to make human life banal. And on the contrary of common thought, it’s not a biblical doctrine like they say. But that’s another gigantic discussion, that I won’t going to bring up now. Who knows later we talk about it…

What really matters now is to understand how much unique we are, and the others that live around us, and that they matter more than things that also are around us and we like it. I repeat my last concept here: The more human we are, more we like people.
