You're a legend

Just through the jungle, not even 100 meters from here is a waterfall. No, not that one. Yes, that is also a waterfall, but not the waterfall we're here to pontificate about today. 

Go ahead, zoom in, just trees. But, I promise you the waterfall is there.

Story Problem 
Does the cost of crossing100 meters equal or exceed the value of seeing the waterfall?

Vocabulary

Cost ≠ Price 
Value ≠ Worth

Cost = Physical
Price = Dollar
Value = Emotional
Worth = Monetary

For this thought experiment we cannot dilute the monetary with the emotional and vice versa. Look at that picture again. There is not a monetary cost to walk that last 100 meters. The walk is free of dollars and cents. 

Therefore we are left with a single question: physical cost for emotional value?

Maybe not, maybe, curiosity.
