John, my good friend. You're stringing together parts of what people have said in order to bat the ball back over the net, and with a slam. Slow down.... my friend.... slow down. I suspect you may have a button that's been pushed.

IMO the cessation of any life is sad. Life is good. Life continuing is good. Any life. Plant life. Bug life. Cellular life. Life, as a value.

Do we "kill" some life to make our own lives "better"? Sure we do. Someone I care about has Stage 4 cancer, and I'd like to kill every cancer cell in her.

But-- it's still sad, to do it. FOR ME it's sad. Why is that? It's because human beans tend to value life, to one degree or another....

I can regret even what I find necessary. So can others.

I can find one thing a greater good than another. So can others.

I can find two things "evil" and still choose one. So can others.


What I would urge you to SLOW DOWN AND CONSIDER (reflect, take time, take weeks or years maybe), is that finding something evil need not equate to taking action to stop it, or judging someone else's differing sense of what is good or bad, right or wrong-- one can feel one way about an issue and still not feel antagonistic towards others of other opinions.

Love,

PS, all: this thread has become a mere pissing contest. OK, so you can piss farther or longer than your neighbor. SO WHAT, it's just a floor full of piss in the end! :~)
