In Which Value Is What You Feel, Not What You Measure

In Which Value Is What You Feel, Not What You Measure

When I was younger, my father gave me a rule to live by :

“If you pay $1 for something, it should last two days. Anything more is a good deal.”

It made sense. It was practical. You could chart it, log it, and feel confident you made a smart purchase.

But recently, something shifted.

Last week, as my RMT worked on my neck, we got onto the topic of the new Space Marine 2 game.

I admitted that I was excited about this game, even though it’s single player campaign is only 10 hours long. I paid full price and yet… I couldn’t wait to dive in. I even caught myself thinking, I’m glad it’s not longer.

Now, if I was still living by my father’s old rule, this would be an extremely bad deal. But here’s the truth:

Value isn’t about time, or price, or spreadsheets. It’s about what you feel.

We’re not machines calculating value with numbers - we’re humans who crave connection, meaning, and joy.

Space Marine 2 didn’t give me more hours. It gave me something better: an experience. One I’ll probably replay again because it gave me a sense of mastery and fun, not just hours of entertainment.

Education is the same way.

You can count the hours or count the cost. But what are you really after?

It’s that moment when something clicks. When your view of the world expands. When you feel the value because it changes how you see yourself and your craft.
