Why It Is Important To Conserve Nature

Patricia Said:

Philosophy of Value question: Life is cheap. Do you agree? Why/why not?(Read details first)?

We Answered:

Depends whose life.
A human would not consider their own life, and the lives of their loved ones cheap. But lives of others, that they don't really care about might be irrelevant and cheap to them. It's human nature. To be selfish
So that's why everyone's life by most people is considered cheap and irrelevant. I think you understand what I mean.

Stop advertisements to prevent Hike in Fuel Prices.?

We Answered:

This is a valid issue, which can be taken to the Supreme Court as PIL(public interest litigation). But then again the problem of legal expenses and time taken for the judgement has to be considered here. Its the only alternative we have though here.

Expressing this issue in newspapers or internet wont solve the problem. Only the judiciary authority has to give an order in this regard, as far as in a country like India is concerned.

The only value of human life outside of the human condition is as food. Life, in the macro term, has its own agenda. Namely to survive, expand and thrive. We contribute to this end by doing likewise. Inside the human condition, life has varying value. Good leaders that strive to improve the condition of man, is priceless. Whereas the opposite is the case for those that seek to enslave or destroy their fellow man. Since there are many variations of the theme, there are wide variations in the value of a particular human life. However, man is a combative creature and when two leaders collide, then they will spend the flower of a generation to settle the issue. This cheapens life. When the supply of people overrun the demand for them, this also makes life cheap.

You are somewhat right in considering life as a force because like force, to accomplish work, it is expended over time and distance. The value of the work determines the value of the life but it does not diminish the essential value of life because life never loses life. Other forms will feed upon it and they in-turn are fed upon. Life is not monolithic. It is a system that has innumerable feedback loops which enables it to be almost eternal. Life on this planet has existed for almost a billion years and there is some evidence that life may be older and exists elsewhere in the universe. Life has demonstrated that it will shed any amount of lives to maintain at least one viable cell. This makes life's value of life very high indeed.
