[MD] Where have all the values gone?

Ham said:  

To put it simply, the value choices we make in life become what we are in
Essence.  Which is why I say that Essentialism is a valuistic philosophy.


DM: What is choice? Where does it come from? ANd what happens
to all the options we don't take? Do they just continue where they
are? remaining in the possible, yet never brought into the actual,
remaining somewhere transcendental to the actual. What shall we
call this realm? Unrealised and yet infinite in its possibilities/
Shall we call it essence? Yet it is absent, withdrawn, distant,
without form, unrestrained in any way. No that looks like a bad
choice. I know let's call it Nothing! Where nihilism is realised as
the ultimate sacred source. For every actual choice a zillion
possibilities are negated. That is a sacrifice and a gift.
