I understand its based on perspective, I’m saying that you can’t say an item holds a certain worth objectively. A Gucci bag is only worth 2000 if you can find someone to pay that. I think the word “worth” is doing extra work it doesnt need to.
We may have different understandings, be referring to different definitions of, or be applying our own connotations to the word “worth”. I’m using it as a noun meaning “material or market value”, while I think you may be thinking of it like “The quality that renders something desirable, useful, or valuable”, or even as an adjective meaning something like “Deserving of or meriting”.
If that’s the case, I get what you’re saying and agree, I don’t personally think a Gucci bag is worth what people are willing to pay for it, nor do I think any part of its production justifies that price. Unfortunately, some people have more cents than sense.
