Death
Really is the ultimate frontier, the one very few of us come back from, the one we all choose one way or another. It is also the ultimately negating frontier, once you are dead, no wrong done to you can be negated, no recourse is given, once you are dead, well, guess what? You are dead.

So why is it important to stop just before crossing into that zone? It is important because it is the only zone of no return. It is where the possible becomes impossible and it is where we, as human beings, must accept that we have no right to intrude. The ultimate obscenity is to push someone else into that zone.

Think about how many ways society condones that push, the death sentence, the ritual suicide bomber, the starvation of the innocent, road rage, murder, medical expediency and thousands of other instances where death is not your decision to make or take. Deadly decision are taken so lightly these days, a random bombing where everybody is a victim, an invasion that targets civilians more than soldiers, death literally lurks on every corner in any town in any country.

We also set up intricate systems to try and stop death, medicine, police and legislation are all in league to arrest the wanton proliferation of deadly events. The same groups that support the wanton proliferation are also actively engaged in its propagation.

So where do you start to arrest death? In identifying the behavior that most sponsors its propagation. Religion, weapons, health are all good places where respect for life could go a long way to mitigate the damage. But deep down you all know what needs to be done, and for so many reasons cannot get around to doing the obvious.
