What what? The analogy? Yes, an old tree cut down is not killed very young, and I don't assume trees feel anything in case you thought I did... This was just to explain that I don't empathize with the dead, because there is nothing. It's only the living that matters. A lack of life is just that.brimstoneSalad wrote:What?Anon0045 wrote: I do think violation of privacy is wrong, and killing is one of the worst violations and terrible. I don't think a lack of life is terrible however. It's similar to when someone has cut down a very old tree. You know it can't be undone or you'll have to wait hundreds of years for another tree to grow that big, and you feel kind of bad because of it.

You don't think it's worse to be killed as a child, rather than at the end of your life as an old person?

Interjecting here, because children don't think that way (they just want to eat the world, and man is cruel for cutting it up to give them choking hazards).
