Life and death are absolutes. From Paul Rosenberg at freemansperspective.com:
The existence of absolute standards threatens a great deal of modern power, and so has long been ridiculed and excluded from consideration.
Reality, however, cannot be changed, and the fact is that we all act for life and against death. So does every other living thing on this planet. That makes life and death absolute and objective standards.
Actions trump words, they trump ridicule, and they very definitely trump academic theories.The absolute standard of life as good is upheld, in actual practice, by every person who takes medicine or by anyone who avoids danger. Oceans of rhetoric can’t negate this. We and every other creature on this planet act to stay alive and to flee death.
Those with a need to wipe away the possibility of an absolute standard betray themselves every time they take an antibiotic or buy organic produce.
And so this also stands:
That which sustains and extends life is good or right.
That which hinders or ends life is bad or wrong.
