QuestionDo we have the right to consider human beings as more valuable than other life forms? easygisi01Answer
Angaangaq Lyberth: Actually, Silke, every life form is equally important. Every life form. Remember the old teachings that they say that everything began with the mineral world. And then after that came the plant world. Then after that came the animal world. And after that the human world began. So when you and I, we die tomorrow, the animal world will eat us. And when they die they will be eaten by the plant world. And when they die, they will be eaten by the mineral world. And thus life has no beginning, no ending. So to say that human beings’ lives are more worth than the other created beings in my view then we lose the balance. Human beings need the animal world, as the animal world needs the plant world, and the plant world needs the mineral world. And thus we are all equal. Now the human world’s responsibility today is to ensure that all safety is for all. That means for the animal world, the plant world and the mineral world. And when we don’t do that it is really imbalanced. Did you hear my answer?
