A Story of Perceived and True Value with Two Morals!

I saw a story the other day dealing with what we value and our knowledge and perception. The story took place many years ago and in a story a rich man had a valuable jewel and he was wanting to educate his servants on how valuable information was still valuable even if it wasn’t seen as valuable in the eyes of the beholder.

The man told one of his servants to take the jewel and show it to a farmer in a field and ask him how much he would be willing to pay for the jewel. Of course the farmer not understanding the value of jewels offered him very little. So he next went to a blacksmith and asked him how much he would be willing to pay for the jewel. And once again the blacksmith like the farmer not understanding the value of jewels offered him very little.

And this went on as he continued to contact many people until he found a jeweler and gem specialist. Because the jeweler understood the value of this precious jewel only he offered the servant what it was worth.

As the moral of the story two principals were at play here or perhaps there are two morals of the story.

One moral was just because someone’s lack of knowledge doesn’t comprehend the value of something. It doesn’t make that object any less valuable. The same is also true with information.

The second moral is our actions and what we are willing to pay and for what determine what we value in life. And have we taken the time to properly value those things.

How much is your family worth to you?
How much is your health worth to you?
How much is having the resources to or being able to make a difference to others worth to you?

I know after reading this story it really got me thinking. What were my priorities?

And my friend what are your priorities?
