The value of human life

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​The value of human life — human life — is an irreplaceable resource and has a really huge potential value. But the value of the resource in itself does not mean anything.

As a metaphor, let’s take, for example, a diamond — a valuable, expensive stone, but in itself it is not very attractive: it is just a piece of rock, beautiful, but so far meaningless. It is later, when the diamond is cut by the hands of the master, it will shine, playing and shimmering with its sparkling facets, reflecting the sun’s rays of a young day and will rive the eyes with its beauty and give joy.

It is the same with a person’s life: if he, an attentive master, builds his life soundly and beautifully, taking care that the same strong lives are built next to him, his life becomes a masterpiece, his main and great creation. If a person randomly stacks bricks anyhow, uses everything that comes to hand, does not care about a strong foundation and reliable walls, builds on the one hand, destroys on the other, and even prevents others from building — his life turns out to be nothing more than than a pile of bricks piled together.

And in the first case, a shining Temple turned out to be in the place of the lived life, and in the second case, a dirty dump.

If a life is spent in vain, in nowhere, in drinking and empty chatter about beautiful things, the value of such a life as a result turns out to be low, although the resource itself was very expensive.

For comparison: they took a diamond and exchanged it for two bottles of burnt vodka. Extremely stupid, but alas, it happens.

If life is lived beautifully, strongly, taking care of at least oneself and one’s loved ones, or many people at one’s own expense, the value of such a life will be high.

The faceted Diamond shone with magnificent facets.

A person makes the value of his life himself: it depends on his choice in which direction he wants to live and will live. And only his choice will be where to give away an irreplaceable, and therefore incredibly valuable resource: bury it under a pile of bricks or invest it in a magnificent Temple.

Human life is a great value. It is not comparable to any other value (other type). In this sense, it is similar to a transfinite number. Which, by definition, is greater than any integer or real number. Infinitely more. But mathematicians have come up with such tricky rules by which you can still work with transfinite numbers. That is, with infinity. And it turns out that one infinity can be larger than another, and so on.

So, the value of human life is not comparable with the value of anything else. It is by definition more valuable than anything else. But it can be compared with the value of another human life.

Thus, the transfinite theory of the value of human life gives reason to believe that in some cases you can sacrifice your life (for example, when it comes to saving many other lives of good people) or kill someone to save yourself, your loved ones and friends from death … By the way, if someone attacks, maliciously encroaches on someone’s life, then it can (and should) be destroyed in any amount, even to avert the risk, by no means 100%.
