Can you put a price on a person’s life?

How do you judge the worth of one person compared to another?

Mathematics does not apply in ethics. Mathematics states that 1 = ½ + ½. But ethic disagrees. 1 complete human being is not comparable to two persons who, for example, do not have legs. Because who is anyone to say that one is worth more than another? Who is to say that being handicapped in any way dictates that you are not a whole, complete human? How to judge? How to weigh every single factor equally, without prejudice?

Where ethics are concerned, feelings are involved. Suffering (or the lack thereof) is involved. People sometimes think lawyers are unethical because the law deals with cold, hard facts. With logic. With the tangible. With impartiality. Whereas ethic is quite the opposite. It involves instinct, perceptions, feelings, prejudices. What cannot be seen or even felt.

This makes me wonder over and over again. What is the difference between ethics and morals? How is a judgments made when two parties disagree on an ethical issue? How can you say for sure if one side is right and the other wrong?

Where does assurance fall under? The tangible or the intangible?

Faith is supposed to be trust in the intangible. It is supposed to be a belief in something one cannot see but trusts wholeheartedly. Faith. Some might call it blind loyalty.

Faith is believing in the intangible, but what if it becomes tangible?

Is there still faith?

How did human thought get so complicated? It’s like a piece of chewing gum =S
