List of Values

This is a list of 374 value that Steve came up with. Even then he says this isn't close to what every person on earth could possibly imagine. It's not exhaustive by any count.

People have different values, and that's what makes the world so interesting. Everyone is unique in how they view the world and what they cherish, and together we aer all part of the rich tapestry that is woven on the world.

I value freedom very highly, closely followed by adventure and discovery. My mum values security and stability. We both get on very well, and when we share our views on subjects we can each see a whole different side to a situation from the other person's point of view. It sometimes even leads to an argument or two.

Many people share the same values though, and even if they don't they'll get upset when particular values are broken. Things like honesty, fairness, and equality. For a society to function well, it's laws need to be based on high and positive values. Everyone can have individual values, but they shouldn't be allowed to negatively impact others. That's the purpose of laws. To set boundaries so people can live their lives more fully.
