Life Pt2

byJaded_Past©

Why is an individuals life more expendable than a group of individuals? What makes it easier to say this one person dieing is better than this group of people dieing? What gives us as human beings the right to make this judgment? I feel than no matter how big or small a group is death is not something that is better for A single person nor a group. Cause even if a single person dies they themselves are not a group, but The ones they leave behind are! It bothers me to see our government, weather it be local, state, or Federal try to rationalize this theory. They make it seem like an individuals life is meaning less. That if Your not serving a group or their group then its ok for you to die. So does in their infinite wisdom And they way they analyze it they make the conclusion without saying it that an individual working A minimum wage job who is just scrapping by in life with an almost nonexistent paycheck each Week or every other week who has a family a spouse, a baby, or just a baby, or even a baby and the woman Or man that fathered or gave birth to the child, this person is ok to die. But if a politician dies It’s a tragedy. Why is that? Just cause one achieved more in life? Cause one was a government official And the other worked at burger king? I feel that life itself should be held sacred and any death should Be a tragedy! Not just a politician, media personality, a celebrity, or a United States Soldier! Every life has meaning not just those that live to serve others. Why is it when an average person gets Shot to death it’s a murder, but when it happens to a president or a judge they were assassinated? Murder is murder how rich do you have to be for people to notice your life no matter how small Was a life that tragically ended? How would the government explain to an eight year old child that mommy And or daddy’s life was not as important as say a group of reserves? Who is going to sooth that child and Wipe away their tears?? Sure wont be the people that if killed they were assassinated! It is going to be me,You, your child, you uncle, aunt, nephew, and so on. It will be the regular people, the nine to fivers, the Middle class, lower class, the sacrificial lambs of society! We will be the ones to comfort them and to Help them proceed with life, and I for one feel its time we speak up and be heard, not as a group but as Individuals as people who should be heard and acknowledged! Not acknowledged by a social securityNumber or a census number, but by our names, our lives, our families no matter how big or small they May be!!!
