About This Quote

When we value something for what it is, we value it more than we would if we valued it for what it could become. For example, when we appreciate the natural beauty of a bird in flight, we don’t see the possibility of wings and feathers and feathers and wings, and so we appreciate the beauty of the bird not only because it is a bird but also because it is flying. When we appreciate an object or a person for what they are, we appreciate them for who they are.
