Hey what do y'all think this quote means? "Everything has a price, but only humans have worth" like i understand it, and like it to be honest, but i dont get what his point with the quote is, what was he trying to prove/say with it? Like is he talking about how if it costs a lot of money to save someone's life you should still choose to waste all tthat money cause the life has value? or what exactly is he trying to say?
sillyrob answered Thursday May 24 2007, 7:22 pm: I'm thinking it's trying to say that humans, no matter what, are always better than material possessions. Some people get wrapped up in their bank accounts, and think that the more stuff they have, the better off they are. But they tend to forget that something like a family is worth more than everything they own. So, everything has a price, and you can buy all they stuff in the world, but the only thing worth something are humans. I could be very wrong, but oh well. That's how I take it.

hmm. i guess an object can be duplicated and replaced, but humans cannot. we are all unique. also we are living and once we die we cannot come back. humans are not interchangable like material objects, however much they cost or mean to someone. an object only has meaning because someone give it meaning.

KellyHappy answered Thursday May 24 2007, 7:19 pm: i think its trying to say, that you can pay for anything with money, but you cant pay for a life with cash. "worth" meaning something sentimental, and "price" meaning money or cash.
so its saying, you can pay for anything in your life, but your own or someone elses life.
life is the most valuable thing people have.
and its worth more than all the moneyy in the world. [ KellyHappy's advice column | Ask KellyHappy A Question ]
