Human Worth

The question present now is, "is all human life worth the same?" I firmly believe that we all come into this world as equals with the same worth. We are all born with a clean slate, and we are able to make our lives into whatever we think is possible. After birth, you develop responsibility. We have the responsibility to stay on the right track and make our lives worth something. Everyone has worth, because everyone is able to change if they really want to. Our society has an image of how people "should" be. This image is mere opinion. Not everyone is equal, and they will never be perfectly equal. Every person has a different gift to offer than the next. Some people are very aware of their gifts from early on in life, while others take the long route to find what they have to contribute. This longer route can include a criminal lifestyle, dropping out of school, or poverty. However, every person is created with a gift and deserves a chance to prove that they want to change, and that they are willing to turn their life around and start becoming a relevant part of society. Even if the man in jail is a murderer, we must keep in mind that he was once an innocent child who came into this world with endless possibilities and opportunities, but somehow, he lost his way and went down the wrong path. We have more of a responsibility to at least try to make them aware of their wrong-doings, and try to give them a chance to change before killing them off with an injection, because, doesn't that make us murderers too? If we are just fine with taking someone's life and sentencing them to death, are we not all murderers?
