Some asked about the value of a relationship so I replied:

Well. It can be measured my friend. Just not with a ruler. And no, this isn't one of those speeches about how wonderful and amazing love is. And yet, it is. Truth be told, when we speak of measurement we immediately assume we need a ruler or a clock. Maybe a Geiger counter or some sort of device in general. Also, when we speak of value we expect to see a price tag on the valuable, a receipt at the end of a transaction. But, if we're intelligent, we can also recognize concepts like honesty, greed, loyalty, and of course, love. All of these concepts are not measurable in the common sense. Nor they can be bought or sold. People may decide to give them up or away as they wish but the concepts themselves are not valuable. Instead, it is out actions that can be measured and can be bought or sold. So, the question then becomes how can these concepts be measured? How would anyone value love if they can't buy it? We must admit, as men and women (and everyone else, should you feel the need to be included as something other than a male/female human) that, viewing the world as an infinite cycle of materialistic transactions is, hands down, a very, very narrow view of the world and life itself. Ask yourselves this: how much do you value your own life? How much is it worth it? If you can find a price, stop reading, you have already found your answer. But, if you can't even begin to fathom a monetary value, then, maybe, the answer lies not in the physical world, but in the spiritual one. Pay attention, I said spiritual, not religious. Spirituality has no religion. But religion is a tool we humans invented to guide us through the spiritual side of life. Immerse yourselves in the spiritual side of things and you'll find that, love, loyalty, kindness, humility, responsibility, etc. They all have a value in a currency that no man can own, but everyone can earn. And you'll only earn as much as you're willing to give to the rest of the world. And greed? And unfaithfulness? And dishonesty? Well... They're for free. That's why they're easy to find in those that want to give so little. That care so little. So you see? We can measure it, just not with a ruler. Now you tell me. How much would you be willing to give to a relationship? What would you give? And how much would that be worth? Would it be worth anything? To me it is. (edited)
