What makes a Good person?
#28
RE: What makes a Good person?
all the bugs and viruses that you mentioned are not bad. To think of a virus as a bad thing that needs to be destroyed or removed is to add human fallacy on top of the natural system. There is no "bad"" moral value for a bacteria, and in fact all of the parts of the earth are necessary. Some people I have listened to have talked about an end of death, or the fight against death. They make me laugh. Of course death is scary, but without death the entire system fails. For those of you so scared of death, what are you wearing? What are you eating? As I used to say.

Without the little nasties that we don't like, the system would fail. So the fact that a virus makes us sad doesn't mean there is an absolute or objective "bad"ness to it. The virus is part of the miracle of life that created us in the first place.

Thanks,
-Pip
