How valuable is life or a life to you.

There is nothing more important than life.

I have always hated the idea of a "heaven". Taking religion out of it, the idea of ascending to a "better place" has always got to me, because THIS is heaven. Everything you hope for and seek in this 'heaven', is achievable right here. Literally everything you know of, your way of thinking, your knowledge, EVERYTHING has been obtained through this reality. There is no need to look for something that might or might not be real, because you're living what you're searching for. Life is all we have. This is it. Our one chance to enjoy the only consciousness we will ever possess. That's why life is the most important thing ever, because with nothing being before it, and nothing coming after it, it's all we actually have.

And I disagree with Verity. My life is more important to me than it is to other people. Other people might hold you dearly, but they will always move on. They will continue on with their lives, and you'll become just a memory to them. If you're life is over, that's it. You have no memories, you have no past, it's all done. You don't have the opportunity to be happy that you impacted someone's life, or the chance to see how you effected people, because it just ends. The only time your life is not the most important thing, is when you're holding someone else's life above yours, which really can only come about with a wife/child.
