[Edit] |
Answer
Stop breathing as much as you can. You will realize.
Answer
Life is as precious as you make it.
The value depends on what value, you give it.
Answer
Life is invaluable.
Consider intelligent life and the meaning, purpose, and value we place on existence. Collectively, humankind comprises the most valuable part of life. In harmony, all plant and animal life support the cycles of living, providing fruit, clean air, and clean waters for us to use. If one wants to surmise that life is insignificant in the vast world or universe, then they can embrace a life defined without value; it's their choice, but it doesn't change the great wealth of knowledge and wisdom we have come to grasp. Within the confines of our intelligence, our understanding, and our observation of all that is or will be -- life presents itself as the most valuable asset in the chaotic universe.
Answer
A question well worth considering, Humans say human life is precious because we are sentient and intelligent and we under stand ourselves. However we don't see the life of animals having a great deal of importance because they don't have the same ability to organize as we humans. So the preciousness of life to the majority today depend on your intelligence. Meaning that smart people are more precious then people who are not smart. with a scale moving down to what we humans perceive as the least intelligent or the least precious. I think the preciousness of life depends very much on what you think life is. beauty is to be found every where no mater how lowly it may seem.
Answer:from a Christian perspective
Life is precious because God created it and people are made in God's image and so have the ability to relate to Him, unlike the animals. The animals life is of course precious as well since they, along with the rest of creation, in all its amazing complexity and diversity give glory to its maker. Only man with his precious life which contains in it free-will chooses to treat His life as if it is not made by God and is not precious and so destroys himself and others.
Ultimately of course, man's life is demonstrated to be so precious that Jesus Christ, God's only Son, went through an agonizing death for each human on this earth, even those who reject Him and hate Him, as well as those who society rejects because they are not rich or clever or have some mental or physical 'defect' which gives the so-called healthy ones an excuse to write them off. To God however every life is precious and special and purposeful.
Answer:from another Christian perspective
ANSWER
You will know how precious life is when you are experiencing near death, you wil remember what are the things you did and didn't do. That's the time when you will know how your life is important. We have only one soul and we will grow old as time flies we will not be able to change our age. We can't do things we did when we're old.
When we want to say I love you in that person but its too late that's when will know how we should not waste our life. And take the day for granted.
The preciousness of life can only be judged from an inward point of view. How precious is the life of the son just about to commit suicide to a loving mother and how precious is that same life to him self? How Precious is the life of a fly that you are about to swat how precious is that same life to the fly as it attempts to get out of your way?
Answer: From Buddhist Perspective:
The preciousness of life is based on one's perception. Your perception is your reality. Your consciousness dictates your perception, therefore the mind is our everything in determining and guiding our path through this blissful journey of life.
Answer
God seems to love some of us more then others. meaning that some life is more precious then others. That's why there is Heaven and Hell. Animals are life also, the loyalty and sacrifice they put out for men doesn't even rate a mention. That seems to be the Christian perspective of the preciousness of life.
Life is as precious as a child to a mother.
