How we attribute values to some person, thing, place or concepts, abstract or not..... depends mostly on our own perception. Exceptions can be because of our trust in somebody else whose perception we trust.
I shall avoid adding my own theories to it, due to my lack of confidence in elaborating the subtleties involved in linking attributing_values with our perception.
Instead, I shall quote an easy-to-grasp example, and leave the choice of perception about it to my readers 🙏
Example : we look at two similar images of a person .
Both the photographs are hanging on the wall, and belong to the same person and both are showing that person wearing a garland of flowers.
Only one difference 🙏
One photo is of the person himself wearing a garland.
In the other one, somebody has placed a garland on the photograph, and the person did not wear it while being photographed.
A small kid needs to be "told" about the difference between photograh of the person-wearing a garland, and the photograph of the person being garlanded 🙏
( we grown ups, know the difference, due to convention).
Knowing a person, place, or thing, and knowing a concept, with in-depth perception, decides as to how much value we attribute to that .
Attributively yours,
