Without truly being.

I’m opposed to a forced death on anyone. Even for terrorists and others that kill or maim people. Makes me against capital punishment. But if someone wants to take his/her own life – well, then maybe that’s all right. I wouldn’t encourage suicide. But I’d accept it. As a legitimate moral alternative. An individual choice. Not sure about my stance on abortion. Because I don’t necessarily accept the notion that life begins at conception. In fact, I’m not even sure that life begins at the moment one climbs out of the womb. Maybe true birth occurs only when one achieves true consciousness. Awareness of being alive. Could be that some of us merely go through the motions of being alive. Without truly being. –Jim Broede
