All Life Matters

No matter your political views or religion, I believe that we should all love and respect each other as human beings. The world is crazy right now. All the violence has to stop.

Whenever I see clips of BLM protesters filling streets, I see them get in the faces of whites and scream that black lives matter. Doesn't sound too peaceful to me. They're right though. Black lives do matter. But as far as I'm concerned, we shouldn't be focused on one particular race's lives mattering. We should all be looking out for each other and making sure that we aren't just simply protesting injustices in society. If you think something isn't right, take action. And taking action doesn't mean killing.

p.s. I know that this thread has gotten a little humorous, but I thought I'd give my take on the subject. Peace.

Read this while listening to / watching Ed's lovely Rise.

Symmetry.

Thank you

And a good take it is too, Pearl34Jam. Thanks!

All for the expanded all life matters theme, I realize there are forms of life that kill and get killed, even if simply by accidentally walking on a caterpillar or scratching an eyebrow an annihilating a couple thousand mites. I'm certainly not one of those who would never kill a mosquito or a tick at the risk of contacting malaria or Lyme disease. What I am suggesting is that we might want to keep in mind that all of the species within any biotic community (interacting organisms living together in a habitat) are interdependent and much of what we do can affect what is required to keep that community stable and balanced. When the balance is upset (and yes, this does occur naturally at times) any one of the species can become endangered, including homo sapiens. And since we have far greater ability than any other species to affect our biotic community, it might be wise to consider how very important all of our fellow species are and do what we can to prevent their and/or our premature demise through our negligence.
