My Five Wills/Code of Ethics

RE: My Five Wills/Code of Ethics

Prior acts mean nothing when future acts can be anything; one person can change the entire world, you mention Abraham Lincoln. If as a young tree chopper you decided not to save him from a threat of death because you measured your worth higher than his: and you do nothing with your life, imagine what the world had just lost. I suggest merely that our default position for the betterment of our species and that of society, should be to give the other the fighting chance because the repurcussions of not doing that are far greater. The moral implications of having a future society that measures peoples worth and engages in self preservation tactics, will lead to a possible end to our entire species. We are all pieces of a whole, and if we don't connect then eventually that whole will crumble.

The whole always crumbles. Everything that is, crumbles, without exception. "Our species" means nothing, really. 99.9% of all species that have ever existed are now extinct. Our species, too, will eventually go extinct. Every one of us will die until, one day, there are no more. I don't care much for what happens once I'm dead. It's not as if I'll exist to have an opinion on the matter. I'll be dead.
