This statement has weight because many don't see the VALUE in "life", thus making this statement VALUABLE - it provides a perspective on "life" that is relevant and may help someone come to a conclusion regarding their own "life". It serves a purpose. Many people cannot see the VALUE in "life" because they cannot see it's purpose, or find a purpose within it. "Life" is either taken for granted, or the true fundamentals of "life" have been misinterpreted through the actions of others.

Ask yourself what your true values are, the reason why you get up morning after morning, and then ask someone who you have never met what their values are. If the two of you can agree on just one common value, ultimately, globally, the chances are higher that THAT value is more important than any other. "Life" is the only true "thing" that binds every conscious being together, it is something that we should all share together. If we can orient our VALUES, as a planet, to align with one common goal (say: "Life"?) I think that it would be much easier to come to an understanding about issues like war - the world might be a better place for everybody.

....I've been doing a lot of writing on this subject lately.

Now, I pose a question to everyone who's read this post:
"If you were the only human on the planet, would your values change from what you currently believe in?"
