To be or not to be, that is a question.

What is it that we are supposed to be?
That is another one.

Someone asks again: Are you with us or with the other ones?

This time, the issue seems to be more clear for some: human rights or no human rights.

One question leads to another...

Human lives or property?

Health or economy?

How do we actually guarantee those human rights systematically?

An one-off payment and justice is done?

Who has the answers?

Do you understand how a squid feels?

@Phairnix
1) to be
2) Human beings be human
3) Since I am being human, I am with humans.
4) Human rights
5) Property IS a human right.
6) Health IS economy
7) By removing the system and simply allowing human beings being human
8) What?
9) I do
10) When I am being squid, I do. When I am being human, I do not.

@sda 1} Do you know of fellow human beings who are not anymore for having been what they were?
2} What is it to be human?
3} No matter what?
4} Do you see them respected?
5} Like a housing?
6} Which has priority when it comes to $?
7} What system are you referring to?
8} Is justice about removing injustice or only punishing the responsible?
9} Only you?
10} Have you ever asked yourself that question when eating squid?

@Phairnix
1) Is there any such thing as not being? Or only shedding the physical shell?
2) Is it not being human to take on this form of meat shell and be in the state of forgetting that you're far more than the meat shell itself?
3) Are divisions of "us" and the "other" not artificial?
4) Do you not see human rights respected? Do you not also see them ignored? Some actors play the villain, some play the victim, some don't play that particular game and simply observe without judgement.
5) The human right is to have possession of the property one has created. There is no human right to take the property someone else has created.
6) Do you see health and money as a field upon which only a zero sum game can exist? Did health not exist before money?
7) The same one you referred to as "systematically."
8) Is justice not largely subjective and situational? Is there a cosmic writing somewhere that defines a universal objective "justice?"
Is punishment even relevant to justice? And on a further level, is justice even remotely relevant to enlightenment.
9) Everyone who takes the time to search.
10) This meat shell has never consumed a squid meat shell.

@sda 1} Is there anything that is independent of physical reality?
2} Whereas ideas can travel from one human to another and as such make someone more than a meat shell, do you have evidence of someone who has never had a meat shell?
3} Who is asking the question and who is not?
4} Is the indifference not a negation of the rights themselves?
5} From what do you create those properties to start with?
6} Is it healthy to have money?
7} You mean that we rely on the same system?
8} To who is justice relevant?
9} Can you search in vain?
10} Is that the squid of the question?

@Phairnix
1) Wouldn't that depend on how you define physical reality?
2) Is that a presupposition that only "ideas" make a meat shell more than just a meat shell?
3) Exactly.
4) Is it necessary to be indifferent to be able to observe without judgement? Can one not stop a robber while simultaneously holding that the robber is doing the best he knows how?
5) Intent is always the first step in creation, is it not?
6) Isn't it unhealthy to be attached to money?
7) In the context of guaranteeing human rights? Are systems necessary for humans to respect each other?
8) Is it unjust for the lion to eat the zebra? Or the man to eat the squid? Is justice relevant for either?
9) Ah yes. A modification is in order. All searching is in vain. As long as one searches, one is not finding. The mind that focuses on finding is not focused on searching.
10) What is a squid of a question?
