Life!

Life is more valuable than anything on this planet. i hope nobody on this message board ever forgets that. Its more valuable than country and religion. the numbers that are thrown around on the network news channels and in the newspapers are not merely numbers, each one is a human being who deserves life. Those directly responsible for the taking of life should be wiped out in one fell swoop. Those who manipulate the public to fund and support death should suffer. I know its more complicated than this, and that human nature is responsible for what is wrong and right with this world, but life is all we have. Their is significance in all life, living life is significant enough.

    It depends on what people interpret as life. In reality every single bit of matter that surrounds us is alive. It moves and interacts intricately with it's surroundings, it gives off, and absorbs energy a we all do. Under those criteria, a pencil, or rock, is as much alive as anything else.

    Our only difference is that we have become aware and can observe.

    People draw the personal lines everywhere under the sun these days like choosing a menu item at a cafe.
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    many people consider life to be less important than religion.

    You gotta love an advocate for life with this mentality.

    Life is as insignificant as a grain of sand.
    I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny. Your nature is to do harm, mine is to love truth, and to make it public in spite of you. - Voltaire

    In the bigger picture, yes

    For the individual, it's all we have

    And even in the bigger picture, 1 life can make a world of difference...

    Well, yea, exactly. You could ask "Why do you live then?" and my answer would be "Because it's what I do" and for all those that do live, one can make a difference.

    I had an abortion. Why don't you come on over and kill me?

    A grain of sand is both nothing and everything at the same time. The only variable is in it's perception or relativity.

    I know i wasn't very eloquent with my opinion. i never deliver the point i'm trying to make clearly because i see the the irony and hypocrisy in what i'm writing while i'm writing it. that's why i tend to keep my opinions to myself. i just wanted to stress the importance of life, and how it seems sometimes to be an after thought. the justice i described is the justice i would demand if the closest people to me were ever murdered. i obviously stress the importance of human life because it is what i'm familiar with. i hope the quote is clearer than i was.

    What would you think of your mother had she murdered, I mean, aborted you?
