All life is a search for value. What you value changes over time

I think value in this context is different

I disagree. Maybe you value “equality”. It’s something you pursue in life

Now I understand your perspective. Mine is about my actions aligning with my values. Finding them may or may not happen.

I’d say largely ones’ family and upbringing

Plus human nature or not ?! Sure there is a spectrum, but in principle…

Upbringing is also experience. Values, or preferences, are something that is also learned through experience. Even genes are experiential, but on a different time scale.

I would say that a wise person has learned to align their internal preferences and values, with a value set of their niche socioeconomic environment.

Figuring thatbout is difficult, thus takes time, and a lot of life experience. It is not a coincident that old people are seen usually as wiser than young ones.
