Every person existing in this world is a miraculous work of God, and only He has the right to take back that life. The act of taking human lives in wars, terrorism, abortion, euthanasia, suicide, and others are not only contrary to Christian ethical life but also against the divine creation that has existed since time immemorial. The right to live and live happily must be prioritized above all political and economic rights. If a country is economically and politically powerful but does not respect human life, viewing human life as worthless and taking it whenever desired, that country will eventually face turmoil and decline. Similarly, if a person does not regard others' lives as they do their own, they will eventually become a cruel and lonely individual. God wants people to depend on one another; each person is interconnected with others. Thus, 'no one can live without being connected to others.'References
