Labels

 To live is to make categories and then assign categories and ranked value assignation to these values attributed to each category.

Values have adjunct labels signed to each of them: pretty, ugly, good, bad, right, wrong, correct, incorrect, greater and lesser.

Labels are instructive but are they the last word? Probably not, but they are indicative and slightly authoritative if well-conceived and well-assigned. Epistemic humility as a personal trait does oblige one to feel a twinge of hesitancy about any value assignation. One is confident about getting it right, but still cautious.
