There are causes worth dying for, but none worth killing for

Summary

This quote speaks to the importance of values and principles in our lives. It suggests that while there may be causes or beliefs that we hold so dearly that we would be willing to sacrifice our lives for them, there is no justification for taking someone else's life in the name of those causes. It emphasizes the inherent value of life and the rejection of violence as a means to achieve our goals. Essentially, it reminds us that despite the passions we may have, killing should never be justified or deemed worthy.
