The Basis of the Nonkilling Belief

In Asteriskos. Journal of International and Peace Studies, Vol. 2 (2007), pp. 33-39.

Summary: This essay is nothing more than an appeal to human beings everywhere to take active responsibility to protect human life in all thoughts, words, and deeds. There is no higher moral calling because morality implicates life and the protection of life in its most fundamental definition. It seems that in the management of human affairs, we think and behave as though morality is dependent on our ability to plan and choreograph dangerous killing behavior – perhaps to outkill someone else or to purge ourselves from our own lives.
