“[I]n reality, every person defines where their value comes from for themselves”
This is not reality. In reality, value and meaning are inherent to beings and actions. For example, every human being has value by the very nature of being human, not because people decide if their life is valuable. At that point there’s no argument against suicide which we all inherently know is bad (because meaning and value cannot be disassociated/overwritten). People can also be wrong about what they value.
This modern nihilism is very pernicious.
