No, it’s a definition. I’m a utilitarian, so I only value pleasure and avoiding suffering.

but what about a general definition of value that encapsulates everyone’s experiences and not only yours?

I don’t care who experiences the pleasure or suffering. Individual ego is an illusion. The self is a social construct. The divisions between oneself and others are a lie.
