From B - or related: It's really hard to generalize, though.. About relationships, work environment, friends.. Do we fool ourselves that there are

Posted by Facto (aka FactoFail) Mar 30 '11, 19:56

standard answers, when and where there are not?

Is life too complex, if we don't strive to establish common norms, to navigate by?

I read some psychology professor say that the human mind is not able to attribute value to something, or to a phenomenon, in and of itself. We can only appreciate or depreciate tangibles and intangibles relative to something else, or relative to the value commonly ascribed to it. (Is this completely true?)
