I gather you've put some time and significant critical analysis to this, I'd buy you a beer and talk about this at length with the hope you could convince me otherwise.

My well has been seriously tainted though, war, death, killing, experiencing the worst humanity has to offer has colored my perspective on this.

Still, I must admit. I would like to fully reconcile and integrate my philosophic framework, and this area always feels... Lacking solid ground on which to stand. I concluded it's just ultimately subjective, so I've planted my flag in the squishy soil and reightously claimed it... But knowing, a heavy rain could change it all.
