Bless the children who were slain in this senseless tragedy.

Please feel free to respond to the entire thing. You ask why it is I have yet to kill myself, the universe won't care, matter is still the same, why not? Right? But to suggest that my not being distraught over death means I should just off myself? Your logic and analysis is incredibly weak.

Well first things first, I didn't bother commenting on the latter portion of your post because I, frankly, agreed with them (especially your last couple statements). The point I was making is regarding to your statement on "universe doesn't care [about the death of children]" which I interpreted it to be something along the lines of "deaths ultimately do not matter (value of 0?) in the grand scheme of things". If I have misinterpreted your point, feel free to correct me.

"Aren't upset or worried about death? Better kill yourself."
Sound.
Then you suggest that the only reason I don't do it is that I am egotistical? Trust me, I am egotistical, but the reasons I refuse certain thoughts are not because of my own care for myself. I find your lack of consideration of that angle interesting..

Indeed I should have probably made this more clear. I didn't suggest that you kill yourself because your lack of fear for death but rather am addressing the point about how you view the deaths to be meaningless. I probably jumped one too many steps so I will ask this to get a better understanding of your perspective: do you also view life to be meaningless?

Unlike you, Cryptonic is a very smart guy, and I am sure he took my point for what it actually meant.

I was using that quote to make the point about how value (of life in this sense) is subjective. Wasn't intending to direct an attack on you for being egotistical though if it came across as that I apologize.

I would disagree heavily that it isn't a good POV to live by. You disregard that at the and I ask us to try to think of things merely in 'right/wrong'. It is impossible for us to completely step out of our human view point and as such things of this nature will always be upsetting, death will always be something we don't want to run into- for us or for others. But it is an incredibly large waste of time to sit here trying to debate which life is worth more or when we should care about death. I do not worry about death. I prefer to worry about life.

Right and I completely agree especially with the bolded part. As I said previously I didn't mention this because I agree with it (see my 1st post I touch on this topic).

I'll admit I am arguing for argument's sake so don't take anything too personally.
