This is a philosophical question. Thanks to all your answers. Have a great day!

I think people get very caught up and emotional about things they dont need to worry about, in the grand scheme of things. I think the things of value we SHOULD esteem are things like our loved ones, family, our health physically and spiritually, progression in all areas of our life, etc. But I know so many people that STRESS over stupid things that just dont matter.

How about the meaningless chasing of money in the materialistic world as a result of capitalism? All the things that have to do about money and power are overvalued.

"How many" is a question of quantity. Philosophically, how is this answered? Go ahead and count, if you wish, then tell us "how many."
