In reflecting on why I enjoy the activity of constructing something that has been said to have no intrinsic value, I took a moment to look up the word intrinsic to get a better grasp of what I was writing about. I found myself pondering the essentials of living this life beyond the basics of survival (water, food, shelter, etc.). Science, as we know it so far, says that a flower’s beautiful colors are created just to attract bees so that they can help in the process of pollination. Well ,what a happy coincidence that we also feel a certain soft euphoria when observing the colors and serpentine shapes of a vibrant flower. Does that experience have no intrinsic value? It’s been said that the heart has its reasons that reason alone cannot understand.
