Value of life
Value of Life and Suffering I always ask myself why people sometimes hate each other so much that they get to the point of taking someone's life. To take someone's life because you don't like him or her, denounces the whole aspect of why we live. Life is something precious which everyone has to cherish and respect. I came to realize how valuable life is when I witnessed people being killed in Rwanda in 1994 when the genocide broke out. It was summer of 1994, school was off and I was excited to join my parents for summer vacation in Rwanda. I was 16 years old and life to me meant nothing more than enjoyment. One week into my vacation I learnt a lesson of my life. I saw innocent people being deprived their live without justifiable reasons. From that day I realized that life is precious and valuable; if respected by everyone we can eliminate unnecessary suffering and/or deaths. Today I consider myself blessed because there are many millions of innocent people in this world who are suffering and the value of their life being degraded because of carelessness of some ruthless people. When I see many people suffering around the world, and my past experiences, make me value my life and lif
Those people regard material things more than someone's life. Lives of innocent people are being lost everyday. In the book Man's Search for Meaning by Frankl, I learned how innocent people suffered and/or died because of few people who did not care about the value of life anymore. They lost all that, but those who survived hanged on one thing that, life had value and purpose no matter the circumstances they were facing at that time. Unnecessary suffering and deaths of innocent people can be avoided if everyone realized how valuable life is. To me once you value your life and life of other people, you are making the world safer. " Irresponsible leaders cause mass death and suffering of people. The lives of prisoners meant nothing to their oppressors. Those leaders too, fail to understand that they are still part of the suffering community. " Frankl and his comrades were mistreated to the point of being regarded as none existent. I saw dead bodies of young boys and girls lying on the side of the road when we were on the bus on our way out of that country. I believe life can be complete without going through suffering. They believed their life will have value again. Leaders of those countries benefit themselves and they forget about their people. Let us learn from others, I learned from Rwanda and I hope I will never have to see suffering like that in my life.
