Hi everyone,
I have recently joined this forum and am a new member. One of the most important questions that I have pondered for almost a decade is equality of human life for everyone. I am largely influenced by a reductionist outlook, acquired whilst studying physics at school. To me, physics is almost quite universal as human bodies, brains and all walks of life constitute the physical universe. Morality, ethics and justice among the abstract, humanitarian arts/disciplines still constitute the natural universe - indirectly, as these are governed, dealt with and processed via human brain. Therefore, it is quite confronting to say and maintain that physics is almost universal, including balanced equations on any motion and its changes where there is always an equal exchange of positive/negative values.
I am still in the process of clearing my indoctrinations and biases about human nature as well as physical nature and nature of art, even through continual pursuits of sciences, perusing on human experiences from fiction and biographies, history, worldwide travelling, socialisation, sport and art. However, I am also trying to overcome misconceived notions of universality that physics, among the most well measured, scientific and formulated disciplines, claims.
I hereby would like to propose an important question - the synchronicity between physics and some its formulated laws of motion, and morality and justice applying to human life. If we were to appropriate/interpret one law of physics, which states that for every positive action, there is equal positive reaction (and so for every negative action, there is equal negative reaction), in terms of human life for everyone, would it be possible to say that every human life has one of many pathways from birth to death, depending on the individual's choices and actions, as all equally calculable according to the positive/negative value of individual deeds. That is, regardless of everyone's special conditions, ethnic background, socio-economic status, gender, sexual orientation and disabilities, in everyone's individual, unique life, does everyone have equal choices and responsibilities, which may change as they age? In every human life, do individual actions incur equal benefits and consequences in their individual lives?
After all, such questions as equality of life for everyone are hard to answer. Laws of physics are specific and not universal, when taken to a level of contemplation on human life. There needs to exist an equally well formulated discipline, which is obviously law, justice and government that may help bring order to the unjust and chaotic human world. Consider billions of humans in developing countries who continuously suffer from political injustice, poverty and starvation. Count how many lives have occurred without equal justice, compared to others' lives, including the wealthiest, happiest people in the world.
I would like to leave this thread for everyone's discussion on morality, justice and ethics, specifically, on equality of human life for every individual.
