Philosopher reflects on need vs. value in human interaction

This item is a philosophical reflection on the difference between need and value, using the analogy of providing services. It suggests that people may require what you offer based on their requests, but true value is demonstrated by their treatment of you when you are not actively providing services, such as during rest, when setting boundaries, or when you yourself require support. The author emphasizes that an individual's worth extends beyond their utility to others. AI
