RE: Life Can Be Absurd, But The Consolations Of Philosophy Can Do Us All Good.
The old problem of intrinsic value vs. instrumental value. Unfortunately, we seem to be stuck in a culture of instrumental values. We only do certain things for what they will get us and not for the value they have in and of themselves. Hope you had a great birthday and had all kinds of intrinsic moments of joy. :)
Correct Kobie. Intrinsic value vs. instrumental value - and yes! Lots of 'in the moment' intrinsic joys on my birthday yesterday. Thank you :)
