At the end of the day, we cannot even value an act without belief in that there is some value to the person we are praising for that action and state of being.
Mutations that survived from evolution have authority to tell you what you should that is better for you because many are more intelligent, more experienced and more wise than you. But unless it's in some form of self defense I don't necessarily totally believe it's justified for someone to dictate on someone else what they should do with threats of aggression.
You're talking about humans I'm guessing? When you say mutations.
You say you can't see value in a person who's actions you don't see as being valuable themselves. Ok that's true enough. If you want to go on a diet you don't follow the guy who's 5 ft tall who weighs 400 pounds and tells you to eat cheese all day.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
