"Human Being as the Central Value"

Today when profit and power are the most important things in society, human being is reduced to an object to be used and thrown. While all human being should be equal, today life of one citizen of a developed country is considered more valuable than lives of thousands of citizens of developing countries.

If we look at every norm, every decision and every action around us from the point of view of what is its impact on all human beings and not just a few then what we are doing is placing human being as the central value.

The topic has three sub-themes:

1 - Nothing above the Human-being

• Is profit or power of a few more important than the lives of others? For the profit of some unscrupulous doctors, organs are stolen from ignorant people. For the profit of a few land is grabbed from poor people. For the profit of a few people are made to buy things based on misleading advertisements. And so on..
• Then why sell weapons? .. for the profit of the weapon manufacturers, wars are kept alive in poor countries.
• Why sell alcohol, cigarettes and drugs .. destroying lives of millions for profit of a few. For the power of some leaders, conflicts are instigated based on religion/caste etc. And what about corruption, dowry, child labour and all forms of violence?

2 - No Human Being below another

• Aer lives of citizens of some countries less important than those of some others? Is thousands dying in Syria less important than few deaths in Paris terrorist attack?
• Should development of a few be at the cost of displacement of many others? Dams, huge plants etc are set up often by forcibly displacing the inhabitants of that area.
• Should good health and education be privilege of a few or be available to all? The way they are becoming costlier every day, majority of the poor are denied the access.
• Discrimination in all forms. If a classmate is teased for his look, caste, intelligence, and what not? Ill-treating people weaker than you. Treating sons and daughters differently and so on.

3 - Human Being is not an object to be used and thrown

• Voters – useful as long as the elections.
• Cheap or bonded labour – use and throw.
• Bride – useful if brings dowry.
• Consumers – useful as long as they have money to buy.
• Old age people – no more useful.
• Even today friends are like this – remain friend as long as you are useful to me.
