Thank you for the thoughtful comment, @alignment. I agree with you that the second - "individual" point of view is rather selfish.
That said, my personal "goal" in life is to live happily (enjoy life) as much as I can and help others to live happily (enjoy life) as much as I can. Following that philosophy (I'm not claiming that it's the only one or the right one), if I had to value my life, I would do it by thinking about how much joy can I bring to myself and others.
You are welcome dear friend🙂,
I belive that one of the most needed concepts today is the equality of human lives, regardless of any other considerations. It has the potential to bring us more peace.
I fully agree with you that all human lives should be regarded as equal - but it's too hard for me not to philosophize about controversial issues! : D
We are all equal, humans assign value not nature...
