Meaningful

Do you value all human life the same? An impulse reaction (for most) would probably be, "yes." Honestly, I am not one of those people, but I would like to believe that I made that judgement through a process of logically forming an opinion based on how the person behaves. Regardless of what another man thinks, it is his actions that have an impact on his surrounding environment.


Why ostracize an assortment of characters solely based on their  perception of reality? I'm not endorsing cultural relativism (for example, a tribe that mutilates it's females' genitals as a ritual isn't "OK" in my book just because it's "tradition") because, like I said previously, it is one's actions that really matter. These actions are the reason I say that I do not value all human life the same.


People all over the world right now are suffering by the hands of another human. Think about it. There's a man being killed in front of his family as you read these meaningless words. A child is being abducted and forced into being another statistic for human trafficking. A young girl is getting molested by a family member right now, and has been for years. All of these things could stop if the people causing this suffering wouldn't act upon such heinous desires.


What I'm not bitching about right now is what these people believe in. I don't give a fuck if the murderer is an atheist, I couldn't care less if the coke head pandering for the black market is Jewish, and I definitely don't give a shit if the molester is a Baptist. What they are doing is wrong and that is the reason I don't find their lives meaningful. They are simply a waste of space. Don't let your thoughts define your actions if they would cause harm to other people.


I don't see why anyone would automatically judge someone on the only grounds of personal perception. There is so much more to life than death. Make it meaningful.
