A Philosopher named Simmel believed people created value by making objects, then separating themselves from that object and then trying to overcome that distance. He found that things that were too close were not considered valuable and things that were too far for people to get were also not considered valuable.
What was also considered in determining value was the scarcity,time, sacrifice, and difficulties involved in getting the object.
The main Negative Effect was, As money and transactions increase, the value of the individual decreases and everything becomes about what the individual can do instead of who the individual is. Another negative effect of money is the effect it has on people’s beliefs.
Everything boils down to shillings and cents instead of emotional value.
So the position I am in right now is kind of similar, wait, very similar to the Philosophy mentioned above.
My situation is I a very special person, she's very close to my heart, too close that she's literally in there. So the thing is during holidays well she's not around, she fly's out to go see her Mum and Brother, thus leaving me in a very delicate situation. The further she is and unreachable my Love for her grew stronger, thus her value went up. Time, Sacrifice, Scarcity in terms of uncommonness and rarity of what we have "UNCONDITIONAL LOVE", and the difficulties we had to go through to be together, see each other and so on made her more valuable to me, thus what Simmel believed wasn't only in effect to objects but to human beings.
One thing that could have and has successfully raided and is the cause of fall outs between people was and still is money. So as people got Richer and Wealthier the value of individuals decreased and everything became about what the individual can do instead of who the individual is. Thus the Scarcity of Love, making love hard to find leading to its appreciation
