What is human life worth?

Your first thought is your life is worth a lot and you are important, but what do you worth?

What does the life of a stranger worth to you?

If human life is worthy why do we see so much war, and poverty?

If you think human life unworthy, why do you continue to live?

Do you think your life is worth more than others?

We live in a world where material things are worth more than life.

Life is the greatest gift to some and the worse to others.

 

It depends on what 'worth' means to each of us.
Some set high goals for themselves, maybe they attain them, but if not they will feel worthless. Others simply live their lives for pleasure and stupid reasons, such as drinking, smoking, lazying around and are very happy and don't care about their lives being worthless...

 

My first thought is, I'm hungry.

Strangers are just friends that you haven't met yet. And I value my friends' lives enough to die for them.

Not all humans think life is worthy.

Do you think one penny is worth more than another because it's shinier?

Is pleasure such a stupid reason?

Our natural purpose, reproduction, is no longer necessary, as there are over six billion people on this planet. What other reasons should our lives be for?

Social advancement? Toward what penultimate goal?

 

Your life is worth nothing compared to the life you can save, and not just life as in another individual.... I mean like LIFE in general.

that's the way I feel about it.

but my family has a much different opinion of my life right now.

I think they are being selfish.

 

To me, human life is worth just as much as any other life. Take a moment and think about it.

 

that's what I meant.

 

I suppose it's worth whatever you can get for it.

 

in Amerikkka itz about $50,000 to duh Mafia hit man.

 

In a United Nations backed study, they valued the world's ecosystems at 33 trillion dollars.
So I suppose you could divide 33 trillion by the amount of people on the planet and you would find how much a human life is worth. This is a real study, a price on every living thing.

no. my first thought is the kind of world we all have to live in is worth more then anything i've yet seen prioritised ahead of it. 'importance' (a rather meaningless concept in this context anyway) or lack of it ain't got diddly crapola to do with it.

"What does the life of a stranger worth to you?" probably more then most of the poeple i've been arround enough to immagine i know them. or at least every bit as much. yes really.

"If human life is worthy why do we see so much war, and poverty?"
because political opportunists brainwash people into believing they get something out of putting arbitrary assumptions ahead of the kind of world they have to live in.

"If you think human life unworthy, why do you continue to live?"
worthy/unworthy? of what? who is so infallable as to judge?

"Do you think your life is worth more than others?" of course not. niether more nor less.

"We live in a world where material things are worth more than life."
that's a hell of an assumptions and a damd poorly thought out meaning of worth.

"Life is the greatest gift to some and the worse to others."
quite possibly, though the middle is usualy somewhat more populas then the extremes.
