"Forget sad things," said George.
"I always do," said Hazel.
Attempting to force equality based on objective "value" resulted in the trivialization of subjective value - The death of Hazel's son, an event with a lot of significance to Hazel, was just "equalized" as just another sad event to forget.
The system's rigid viewpoints on objective value denies subjective value - a fundamentally important part of the human experience. Subjective value inevitably leads to inequality but it should be embraced because that is what makes life worth living.
"What is the value of Harrison to Hazel?" should be more important than "What is the value of Harrison?"
Harrison's death shouldn't just be reduced to merely a sad event to forget.
