asaris, I don't really understand what you mean by Hamlets, Poloniuses (Polynices - as in Greek Mythology?) and "Guard #2". (
It's times like these I feel like I have lived in a bubble )
I can expand that I was referring to our existance on the planet. Just as an ant or insect can be as important in the cycle of life as a bird, lion, or shark is.
I think to place value on others as equals would be too subjective to even approach. Possibly what you were referring to as meaningless? I don't get the false though
I'd agree it is not verifiable.
Perhaps it wasn't expressed well, but that is why I stated that 'equal' did not mean 'value'. Does this help?
