Same question. If you don't believe there is another measure, then you have no motivation. Like I said before, the internal logic is sound. The only problem becomes where to draw the line.

If you knew that in order for you to have a "good day" today, a baby would have to die, would you allow that to happen? Or would you just decide to have a "bad day"? What about a kitten? Or an ant?

Everyone's got a threshold. Yours is just shorter than others.

One related question: Is there anything important enough that you would give up your life in order to preserve it?
