Worst ones - Money or God/Gods

Most worthwhile - Life, the laws of physics or the rule of law.

Worst: cruelty

Best: Freedom of thought/expression

The "holiest" place I have ever visited was the rotunda of the US National Archives, where I saw (through about half a mile of armored glass, to be sure) the actual United States Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.  Imperfect documents, it is true, but the closest to perfect documents mankind has yet created.

Glory be to the Laws of Motion! May the Laws of Thermodynamics be exalted in the Highest. There is no God but Physics, and Einstein is His Prophet. :worship:
