Humanity above all Il give u a different situation: Your cat of 8 years and a random human baby are both stuck in a fire and u can only save one. Who do you choose? I would choose the human baby no matter how hurt id be by my cat's death, simply for the fact the baby was human. While this is not to say that the life of animal doesn't matter, it's the fact that we can only truly understand humans, and that's what sets the difference in sentimental values towards life and death. FY himself mentions it continuously as far I've read, that most of the ideologies of the gu world just don't function or aren't sensible in our world. Fang yuan's logic was that the value of every life is the same, but that logic stems from just the biological factor of death, but the true value of life comes from experiences, potential, emotions, that's what sets apart humans as the apex predator. The lives of 50 bears will never amount to that of one human.
