"Do you think you deserve to die?" - anonymous

I don't think anyone deserves to die. Nor do I think anyone deserves to live. The idea that justice is some sort of system of just deserts is no more than a destructive invention of vain human fancy to me. Such justice has no correlation, or place, in the natural (i.e. real) universe. And because I really believe this, the thought of anyone deserving to live or die, or anything else for that matter, seems insane to me. That being said, and ignoring all the philosophical contradictions that arise, if it were possible to somehow deserve death, then I would have passed the qualification point a long time ago (perhaps around the age of nine or ten). And so would have everyone else on this planet, with extremely few exceptions.
