Many people would say that having a beautiful life-filling experience, having a mechanical, dead, lifeless experience, and having a horrible experience are merely value judgments. I do not agree that they are. I think they are actual experiences like sight and hearing. Sight and hearing are not value judgments. They are actual experiences that can be taken away from you such as if you became blind or deaf. In that same sense, any beautiful life-filling experience in your life can be taken away from you since that is an actual experience like sight and hearing. That experience would be our good feelings.
Good value/worth and bad value are not judgments either. They are synonymous with our good (pleasant) feelings and our bad (unpleasant) feelings. Having good feelings in your life is always a beautiful life-filling experience and will always bring good value/worth to your life, having no feelings at all would always be a dead mechanical experience and will always bring no value to your life, while having bad feelings will always be a horrible experience that will always bring bad value to your life.
