  1. Maybe that should be rewritten to read "Ones life has value so long as one attributes value to everyone not just the ones we prefer"

  5. Zara Altair ah a double negative negates the negation indeed, as they generally do, yet as a stand-alone, which it clearly was, it stands as a negative.

    Honouring negatives may sound wise to some yet indignation isn't a feeling that you'll find me queuing up to experience!

    Depends how you want to live doesn't it ;)
