The value of life

Life has always been considered to be the main value. All attempts to question the value of life were not successful. Curiously enough but the most sworn enemies of this value is religion. Religion is concentrated on the afterlife and that is why this value is competitive to religious views. Religion teaches us, that this life is meant for our preparation for the passage to another world. Church teaches us to avoid enjoyments of this world. They are said to divert our attention from our main goal. As you see, these ideas are not popular today. The number of people, who think so and support these views, is decreasing. People value life more and more. This is a good tendency, indeed. However, some youth organizations build their views on denying the value of life and propagate death, but fortunately they are not very popular in comparison with the number of people, who love life. Religious activists call us to give up the vanities of this world and turn to eternal values. The very phrase "eternal values" is an implicit negation of the value of life, because life is temporary. This up to you to decide, whether you stick to "eternal values", or live for the day and enjoy life.
