The Metaphysics of Value in the New Fade

the Metaphysics of Quality are a matter of Zen,
but the Metaphysics of Value are a matter
of discovering long-term worth in something,
so that it isn't a subjective judgment
but an objective one anyone discerning enough
will see

in the New Fade, the Metaphysics of Value
are a tricky thing, because although many people
are engaged in determining what exactly Value is,
there are a great deal more people only
pretending to

Value can be corrupted as a shadow of itself
but then, it isn't really Value
and it certainly doesn't have Quality
(okay, perhaps the veneer of it)

if you think about something long enough
and discover flaws you cannot ignore
then its Value is too far diminished
