If we're honest then we have to admit that a life isn't worth too much. Except for those people immediately affected of course.
You can drive on the highway, a drunkard rams you, your car crashes. You're dead. Game over.
You're a soldier and you step on a mine. You're dead. Game over.
You get born in Sudan and die of hunger as a child. You're dead. Game over.
You're at the beach when a tsunami arrives and drown. You're dead. Game over.
You get raped and killed by a pervert. You're dead. Game over.
You walk on the street, a madman shoots you in the head. You're dead. Game over.
And the world goes on.
But maybe the reincarnation believers are true and we come back.
And we should make the most of our lives anyway! Even if we'd die tomorrow.
