Tim's view; (aged 15and a half) Life itself makes life worth living. What would be the point of life if it didn't exist? Alternatively, you could argue that if life was worth living, everyone would be happy, not everyone is, so effectively there is no point to life :). Some would say that life and its values are based on material forms, but I believe that friendship and love is crucial to a happy life. Without it, nobody
can be complete, because their ife is based around material happiness, after all, what can money get you in the end? (other than drink and shallow but attractive young women) what is the worth of this when you die? Having a true friend who sticks with you, would mean more to me than a million pounds and a rubber chicken. and a slice of cake, because thy give you, what no inanimate form can live and kindness.
Colin's view;(Aged 51 and a half) I feel the true value of life is not ones own life ,but the life of the people who you hold dear to oneself and love even more than your favourite beer.That is the true value of life.

Nice question!
Its this life tht teaches us everything from walking as a baby to facing hardships. It teaches us to love and care, to pray and share. It is an opportunity to learn, to be with different people, to love and be loved. Sometimes its fair, other times its unfair, but it is a very small price we pay to be with loved ones and to experience everything we can. I think life is a precious gift indeed and thts what makes it valuable. Dont u agree??
Have a nice day!!

Love. Beauty. Creativity.

The best things in life are free: spending time with loved ones, enjoying nature, enjoying your hobbies.

It's just that the more money you have, the more time you have to enjoy those free things. Plus it's nice to live comfortably. But definitely the value is in yourself & those you love, not in the possessions you have.

But I wouldn't mind a red Ferrari to take a drive to Algonquin and appreciate the beauty of nature!

Being able to participate - I put in time, my own particular talent, effort - and get back a huge sense of achievement, whether it is in the workplace, family relationships or any of the other aspects of life

Setting goals (whether travel, people, etc..) and meeting them, so when you look back on your life. You never say "I should have, or I could have, but I didn't" Satisfying memories with people, friends, family and places
