A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives. Meaning your life is important because of the impact that you have on others, not because you are alive or who you are. All people should be valued, and all life is sacred. You can choose to be a positive influence and brighten the lives of others or you can choose to be selfish and self centered, only caring about yourself and your life without regard for anyone else.
When you live a good life, thinking of others and having a positive influence on the world, you understand how to be a good citizen and a productive member of society. As a group humanity needs to look out for one another and stand together, otherwise society as we know it will crumble and fall. Instead of hatred and division we need kindness and compassion right now, caring about others more than we care about ourselves.
