Yes, it is true that we believe Heaven is the ultimate happiness and fulfillment in the next life. But that does not mean we think this life does not matter, or that people don't have inherent rights, like the right to life, as Napo said on the first page. We believe each human life is sacred and precious and thus should be protected against having their inherent rights taken away, even if that means they would go on to a happier existence.

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
