Human being has human value, not value of piece of meat, a bird or a cat, but human. We consider our higher consciousness and intellect fair reasons to the superior number one spot on the planet. That is one way to see human value as value of a winner and taker of what there is to take and own because it is possible. Could human value mean we can refuse to do what we could do because it would be right thing to do? To be able to use judgment of one’s own, say no, see alternatives, be creative and innovative, have will of one’s own and be kind are parts of the human value. Aggressive is very much how many cultures do things and behave. They state their power and status by owning, stealing, taking, killing and denying it is wrong reasoning somebody else would do the same if they did not. It is common children are seen as inferior to adults but many adults behave as children do. What kind of conclusions should I make here? Quite obvious. Human value in all this combat and commodity culture is measured by how much and what one owns and what one is able to accomplish, what is seen as an accomplishment in the eyes of those who compete in the same game. Compete is a good word to add in when weighing human value, valuing worth of anything in our world much comes via competition, visibility and winning.
The more there are of us does it mean there will be heavier competition of survival or will we able to share the good we have with those who don’t have as much?
People who come in all ethnic variety there is and genders whom I cannot name, but genders in plural do exist and must be acknowledged: All have human value. What does that mean is a complete order of practicing human rights everywhere, rights that concern everybody. Is it a matter of defining human value again or do we know it by now? Value, worth, life, unique, irreplaceable wonder I cannot help of admiring and still stay horrified by him and her as we are not equal nor live in peace. Value of something existing is a good start to begin to think the difficulty in valuing anything. How do we become to value, starters life, which many take for granted, during which people can accomplish terrible tragedies to each other for reasons that seem valuable enough to cause disasters and misery for many. What is human value then in this picture with multiple disaster making creature who devalues life that he has made a commodity and disposable object to be destroyed just like that? Is it good to ask, is it hypocritical to see that monetarizing life and existence of species is basically wrong and unjust? There in every way seems to be belittling and underrating of value of life, ways of living, existing, undervaluing of nature, animals and people. Is it something difficult to define what is important and protect that? It is not self-evident there as such is life, respected and cherished life.
For some reason I am not buying this talk, this niceness, this kindness and well meaning. This is reality: human life does not have value unless it is wrapped in an expensive suit and has buddies. Theory and reality are not matching. Wonder why that is. As much as there are good intentions, good people doing so much good world is in a terrible state. This is not just a horror story, it is happening all the time. I think my feet are on the ground. How about yours?
