I'm looking for the things money can't buy or corrupt. I'm looking for these things because I feel like this is what I should pillar my being on. Otherwise, I'll kill myself. Seriously.

There are a lot of things money can't buy or corrupt but I'm afraid they won't mean anything to you. Case in point: old boomers who inherited land from their fathers and are financially secure, will never sell, no matter the amount you offer. But so what?

do you identify with those people? I really doubt it. When you're asking "What is priceless? What can't money buy?" you are really talking about yourself because you know you're worthless and corruptible. If you were like these old boomers, you wouldn't be here asking questions about money. you just are content with your life or aren't.

You don't understand anon. Everything valuable can be bought, because money IS value. Money is simply the concept of value given a physical form that can be traded with other humans to acquire things of agreed upon equal value.

This essentially means that money is everything in life. There are things however that can be bought, but cannot truly succeed without motivators outside of money alone. Anything that requires persistence also needs a cause or reason behind action. THIS I believe is what you're looking for, rather than what "cannot be bought".

This may be a better way to describe it.

Value is created by scarcity and demand. Let's use art as an example. Truly great art that stands the test of time has meaning behind it, there is symbolism integrated and backed by concepts that people BELIEVED in. Concepts that guided humans spiritually for thousands of years and are practically encoded into our DNA. People who have the ability to create these images are in of themselves valuable as well as that which they create. However the important part that is often missed is that in order to achieve such staggering value you cannot be motivated by money alone, you must believe in something to the point where other people cannot comprehend your devotion because it gives you the drive to succeed where others will fail with certainty.

Although I am not a religious man this is what people call faith and it is not to be underestimated. I personally believe that's why so many great works of art come from religious backgrounds.

Not really. I could paint something which becomes 'valuable' or sought after and never sell it. I could even destroy it just because I felt like it

Some things you just can't buy

>>13841025
That was just an example. There are a lot of people who don't care about having more money because they are happy with the life they have. Would you sell your family and friends for money? I hope not. There you go, just found you have an important incorruptible thing in yourself. We all do.

Like I said, value is simply the idea that you trade something for another item or object that the other person agrees is worth the same or close enough to part with; the item in question. If you have something of value and you destroy it that doesn't mean you created something that can't be bought, it just means you wasted your time.

A "price" is whatever someone is willing to pay for something. It's perceived, and you can't destroy concepts or ideas. They also fluctuate throughout time and with the individual.

Well it comes down to personal opinion. To some people making money IS their fulfillment. I would say the most obvious answer to what you're asking would be to learn an art or trade. People find fulfillment not in something they were pre-programmed to do, but rather by choosing something to be good at and practicing at it until they become proficient.

I started painting years ago, and I was shit at it. I didn't really even like painting at first but I got better at it. Most people only enjoy things they are good at doing, which explains comfort zones. You CAN choose to enjoy something, which I personally believe also means you can choose to be fulfilled by it over time.

>>13841186
I told you plain as day that "A "price" is whatever someone is willing to pay for something. It's perceived, and you can't destroy concepts or ideas. They also fluctuate throughout time and with the individual." Not my fault if you don't have any reading comprehension. Or do you believe that value is somehow arbitrarily decided and falls out of the sky with no human influence? All you did was blow off what I said as delusional without providing any reason why, you still haven't done so.

The idea that something doesn't become valuable because you throw a fit and destroy it instead doesn't mean it didn't have the value other people saw. If someone thinks what you're trying to sell is worth $1 and nobody else will pay more than that is it's monetary value which is the context of the conversation. Maybe be less of a brainlet in the future

I find no joy in becoming a wealthy person. Just the opposite. The amount of time you need to invest to "become wealthy" implies you have to give up other things. Whatever tickles your balls I guess.
