If you were to meet somebody for the first time and be completely honest about who you are and what you are interested in what would you say? I would start off by introducing myself and once the conversation gets a bit more in depth I would get into the topics of extrinsic values, then intrinsic. I would see if we have common interests firstly but even if that’s not the case everybody is interesting in their own unique way. There are roughly 7,000,000,000 and not a single one of us is exactly the same as another, so everybody has something to offer in this world.
Everybody has a different set of extrinsic values making everybody diverse. My extrinsic values range from playing sports like hacky sack and street hockey, to playing musical instruments like guitar, bass, keyboard, violin, and drums. Other extrinsic values I have are things like my family, my friends, and the people who have made me who I am today. I’ve had a lot of experience in life so far, I come from somewhere completely different from where I live now. So, getting used to not living in the city is still something I struggle with. The lifestyle is just different. But life in Boston is one of my greatest extrinsic values and always will be, in fact I hope to return at an appropriate time. Everybody has different experiences and hobbies, therefore they have different extrinsic/intrinsic values and these are mine.
Everybody’s mind thinks differently. We all have different perceptions, faiths, beliefs, theories, ideas, and most importantly values. Things I value intrinsically are things like tranquility, latitudinarianism (no worship to a specific structured religion, just gathered knowledge from all), musicianship, goals (To be musician, barber, have somewhere to live, etc). But what I value most internally above all is without a doubt my sanity. Without that I would be nothing, too many people have lost that or have never had or experienced sanity but is essential to live a long healthy life....
