Reply #7: when "they" proclaim "The Dignity of Life" [View All]

[BlancheSplanchnik]

they should understand that what that truly means is quality of actual life, here and now. We should seek to face suffering and relieve it.

Any action should be judged by whether it helps to relieve suffering of (one or more) living beings.

Rhetoric and dogma and corporate profits and myths of suffering now in exchange for glory in the clouds later should never be put before compassion for the pain and suffering of actual living, breathing people. (And for animals.)

"Based on my own life experiences, I see suffering as worse than death. Death will come sooner or later, whether there is suffering or not. And as humans we can choose to end suffering, or not." --- very beautifully stated.
