Avram:

I’m perfectly willing to accept that it is possible for something to have value even though we don’t know what the value is, and that we should trust Hashem that it has value. (This is assuming it has value to us. If not then there is no reason to do it.) So you are agreeing that the reason to do something is that it is valuable, as opposed to simply because it is the ???. So do you also agree to the point that follows from that, namely that someone who saves someone is no better than someone who kills someone, since they are both simply pursuing value?
