to describe and quantify behavior that is NATURAL to humans.
Get that straight.
So yes, terms like "supply" and "demand" are man-made, but the forces those terms describe are also present in the animal kingdom even if they do not have the language to conceptualize them.

Yeah, you SAY it's valuable... but if you were told to pay for it you would not.

It could be applied to family and friends too.
If your fam got kidnapped and they told you to come up with a million dollars in ransom, assuming it was within your remote reach to get that kind of money... would you pay it in order to get your people back or would you decide that they're not that much to you and thus, it's someone else's problem to deal with?
An awkward analogy, I know... but it says something about the value that people might hold in your life.
