You might, "we" don't.

Quote:Human value is not determined by majority view of humans or some sort of poll, humans ought to realize human value and dignity.

The thing is when you estimate who or other human values of who they are, their detailed beauty, their traits, the image, that is an estimate of something, but that something is beyond our vision. We can't know a person like the Absolute only possible perfect Judge.  If we judge, we will do so ignorantly. No one can know the most evilest or the most good and all between but God.
So what?

To recap, you have absolutely no way to assign value in your life without invoking pixies....and there's a bunch of shit you can't do.  Your admission of vast incompetence proves allah...somehow?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
