THE DILEMMA If we philosophically accept life to be equal then if ours is endangered and we can only save it by destroying that of others' then we would stop defending our life if endangered and we would prefer to die instead of those who endanger our life. More specifically: we would condemn and not fight war we would rethink our diet trying to minimize death of living beings in it we would prefer to die in torture than to condemn others to die- But what if your wife husband or child lover mother father brother or sister you love will die unless you kill an intruder in your house you think that intruder's life worth less than that of those dear beloved to you If you say you think life is equal I say upon reflection- If I can truthfully say life is equal I'm either a saint or an idiot. But what's the difference anyway!? |

whew, you've got me spinning here... adding this, if an intruder entered my home, I'd surely defend my family? But you have made one heck of a point Good write to ponder...except one thing...no one has the write to harm another and yes, even if their lives are equal...still, common sense should tell a body, not to enter someones home, or they're apt to get themselves in trouble? No? Good one, thanks for sharing. |

 (sigh) Common sense and fortune are both such powerful themes we live with, and sometimes I feel fortune is just as practical as common sense when it keeps rocking at its pendulum! (big hugggsssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, this is wonderful philosophy, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Magic, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |
