holding a paper cup is not known to be bad thing. so giving somebody a paper cup to hold shouldnt be considered a bad thing.
Yet death is known to be a bad thing. Likewise should holding a paper cup be considered a bad thing, only of course if this means it is incapable of holding water long enough for it to be drunk. To do this to someone in the knowledge that the water will soak through and spill down their shirt would be a bad thing. Maybe to children it would be funny as they have yet to mature to an age where they can feel compassion. Children will ACT compassionately, but do they really feel it? Compassion for others comes much later in life.
not being afraid of death really isnt all what its cracked up to be. it allows indifference (to the external world) to be felt at devastating levels. having fears may be unpleasant but being unable to fear also takes away from the ability to enjoy quite a bit. so whats the value of life? life has "value?" maybe u can introduce to me this line of logic that has allowed you to come to that conclusion.
Yes, I agree... as I can remember a time I felt exactly the same way. I had nothing, no family to care for me and none to care for myself. I didn't care about myself and I was angry, very angry.
Life has value in as much as you want it to... it is you that is in control. Control. Sorry to repeat it, it was more for my own benefit really, it's a very powerful word. Conrol yourself then control your environment. remember who's world this is.
my life includes the lives of others, i lose my "freedom" if i cant do what i want to others. granted, i wouldnt want to kill anybody anyway, but its the principal. the only "free society" is anarchy. which really, thats what the universe is even if we have "righteous" groups trying to force their views on others. "enlightenment of the evolved human mind" gimme a break. we're just animals. why do you have a need to glorify what we are?
We are just animals yes, and this means we should just stick with that and that's it? What's the point in evolution if we cannot evolve? Don't you think it possible that we have evolved beyond animal status?
bringing up state executions just complicates the argument. u say killing is wrong, but theyre not sometimes. im not advocating murder, im attacking illogical labeling.
The only time killing isn't wrong is when you have no other choice. Murder is always wrong.
greiving at the loss of a loved one is not as personal as u think. but its inappropriate for anybody to blame this experience of feeling sorry for oneself on anybody but oneself. its a coping mechanism that is not an automatic result of losing somebody. u can choose not to make such a big deal out of stuff like that. sorry if this hits a nerve with u personally, you have my condolences for whatever uve gone thru. or anything uve witnessed others go thru.
