The essence of value is reckoning
“The essence of value lies in its being a point-of-view.
Value means that upon which the eye is fixed.
Value means that which is in view
for a seeing that aims at something
or that, as we say, reckons upon something…”pg 71, Martin Heidegger, The Question Concerning Technology and Other Essays” translated by William Lovitt
“Becoming” or “Will to Power” is that which judges and esteems in terms of values….i.e., a point-of-view that determines the essence of what it is that we want to continually preserve and enhance at the same time. “Values” are our aim. “Becoming” is what makes everything real.
Or, as they say on Sunday morning faith programs: “Faith” is reckoning. And, whatever we say, repeatedly… is what we will “see,” because the (Will to) “power” of faith will make it come into being.
What I say, and how I say it… is how I esteem something to be.
What if we never talk about ‘us’?
What if we never say ‘I love you…I want you…I need you’??
What if I never call you any terms of endearment?
Like “You are my goddess.”
Then I won’t “see” it… will I?
My soul needs something of value,
which I will continually preserve (keep) and enhance (always).
