Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I'd go with the first but leme see what you think

It all depends on the buyer....

All the wealth of the universe cannot afford to buy one life.

Priceless.

I know this because we are all made of stardust.

neither, human life is expendable.

Life is what you make it. It's not up others.

It depends on how you view it. If you are positive, your life is priceless without any doubt; if the opposite, then possibly worthless...

Recently I had an experience that switched my view from the latter to the former. So yeah, I agree.

priceless.

It all depends on what you are doing with it!

depends on the situation:
someone just tried to kill you and you got the drop on them. If you kill this person, it is possible you will save a life in the future.
theres no use saying this situation is silly, it happens every day. Imagine it's you...
how much worth has this persons life now that you know how they feel about you?

Human life is priceless...we take it for granted and do not value it until an event in our lives prove to us that it truly is priceless.

worthless AND priceless. but who cares? we are alive and just live it as it comes! you really cannot predict the future no matter how hard you try.

One assigns the importance of life.

All are priceless.

Priceless. We are God's property.

To me its both depending on what kind of life you will lead, however, i wouldnt depict life as such manner; worthless.

I however do agree to what you said, people pollute, people try to indulge their petty senses without contemplating the whole picture of how it will affect the whole, etc. People are selfish beings, but sometimes we are selfish in order to survive.

Life is a competition, and life is what you make out of it, because of these potentially dangerous matter, we collide into each other, harming others. It is inevitable and hurtful, but we cant do anything about it.

There is no actual reason why we are here, we make our own purpose, but through our lives we feed on our environment, damaging and killing. Many people pity this.

I believe life is priceless, we only have one shot at life(i believe), the only time we can make friends, love, be successful etc, and through our accomplishments and kind words, we can turn some people's life around, and i wouldnt take that as something that is 'worthless'.

Each of our lives are valuable to us. And so as others. In the whole picture our existence is nihilistic and pathetic, and not essential, and we cause too much pain to ourselves. But i still believe life is priceless to a certain degree. And i do not think its my position to say otherwise.

We live in a world where high achievers are congratulated and held up as examples to follow. We forget, though, that true quality of life is not related to how much you can get done, but to how deeply you enjoy your day-to-day experience of simply existing. You should be asking not, 'What can I add to my world?' but, 'What extraneous factor can I reduce or remove to lead a more simple, enjoyable life?' Remember what the Americans say. 'Less is more'. Reduce. And then, relax!
