Over the past 14 years a grand total of 6.4 MILLION people have died in the Democratic Republic of Congo. But we need to look at this from a different standpoint, a view that treats the world in a different way.
The single biggest reason we need to lower our value of human life is because we have grown to a point of assumed superiority. Earth, as we know it, can not, and will not support the lifestyle we "Humans" have assumed. We have become the dominant species because not only do we consume enough resources to survive, we consume resources to be entertained and live in an overly complex world. So when it so happens that 6.4 million people die in the DRC, or 200,000 deaths in Haiti, is it because the world is not right, or "we didn't work hard enough?" or is it because the density of the population is so high that mass slaughter become possible. We need to stop viewing the world from a "Human" standpoint and more from a "Life" standpoint.
