Essay on the value of lifeHow to assign a value to life? This is the question that arises in the mind of every individual at least once in their life. The answer is not definitive. Everyone has different beliefs and morals; this makes manifesting the value of life into a definitive answer an arduous task. I believe that every individual has a personal value in life, with each of us valuing different aspects of life more than others. Life is priceless. No specific value can be assigned to it. There is no way to weigh the value of a life. Sure, you can calculate a person's economic value or their career, but a career is not a life. There are many aspects to why life is priceless. You cannot measure a person's values, nor weigh their life experiences. Triumphs and defeats build character and provide insight. Some may be considered wiser than others, but does that make their lives more valuable? Lives cannot be compared to each other, no matter how similar they are. One person may be completely satisfied with their life and you with yours, but switch places and you might find their life unsatisfying. The answer to this question is simple; everyone places different values ​​on different aspects of life. Rodger Ebert, an exalted film critic, lost the ability to eat and speak following various surgeries, but despite his misfortunes, he still enjoyed life. For what? It was because he was still able to do what he loved. A positive attitude would have been difficult to maintain without those same passions and values. “To be or not to be, that is the question. » (Shakespeare III.i.1) Indeed, that is the question. Many refuse to believe that their time on Earth is coming to an end, while others can't wait for it to end. Everything is determined...... middle of paper ......airs in life, and he does not have to wait to see what his misfortunes will be after death. Ebert appreciated the joys and experiences he had throughout his life. Who valued life more? You can't tell. Even though Ebert had a more optimistic outlook on life than Hamlet, they both had their own values ​​about life. After all, no one in their right mind would want to lose their life. This in itself proves that every person values ​​at least one life. Even if you want to place a certain value on life, it is impossible. No two people have the same appreciation of life, no matter how similar they may be. Although we seek definitive answers, only one can be found: each individual lives a unique life. This shapes their appreciation of life and, in turn, will help them draw their own conclusions to place their own value on life..
