Whether or not the world is going to soon end has absolutely no bearing on the level of decency and justice we are to show other beings while it is still here . And besides , at least as far as “ loving life ” is concerned , there is actually no greater Joy than knowing that you are purposefully & willingly living in alignment with your own conscience ; that you are purposefully & willingly living a life that causes no intentional harm to others .
But don ' t just take my word for it ... Try it and see for yourself !

“ Disavowing the life of another being does not only cede those for whom you care into social unintelligibility , but also cedes a large part of yourself into social unintelligibility as well . Indeed , every time you do so , a significant portion of you becomes unreal and ghostly ." ~ anonymous
