Do you agree that some things in life are more important money?

Do you agree that some things in life are more important money? Why is that the case? Are humans just flesh and blood or is there more to it than that (e.g., soul, spirit)? Based on the story, why is the ship no longer the same ship? If human beings went through a similar type of change like this boat where you no longer have the same parts as ten years ago, are we still the same person?
