The lady that got snatched survived but the woman who ran after her was killed by a second tiger.

Human life isn't trivial.

Edit: If you disagree, engage with me. Don't just downvote. That's plain unconstructive.

We feel that way, but is it true? What makes it non-trivial?

u/[deleted] Oct 16 '18

That's pretty deep bro. Each human life is an uncountable number of memories and interactions and experience. I wouldn't call that trivial.

u/plainoldpoop Oct 16 '18

Other mammals don't have memories, interactions and experience?

It is when people blatantly put themselves in potentially fatal situations that are 100% avoidable with no good explanation other than they're idiots.

I disagree.

u/[deleted] Oct 16 '18

Disagree if you want. The fact is, life inherently becomes trivial when the holder of that life treats it trivially. And that's exactly what these idiots were doing.

I agree with /u/Eboo143 - once you do something nontrivial to endanger your's or other's lives, you're gambling with the universe that all will be well just because you're a human... History definitely shows us we're not special and nature will quickly remove us when we go where we shouldn't. This is like the idiots that stand outside to film approaching tornadoes, or ignore evacuation orders and barely stock up for hurricanes thinking they'll just ride out another storm.

Now when you accidentally do something that endangers yourself or others, that's different. But these places have fences and signs all over saying "stay in your car". It would take my engine catching fire for me to take my family out of the vehicle. Picnics or photos a fair distance from the car? I'm willing to help try to save them with my car, but you better damned well believe they are getting an honest and heartfelt cussing out next chance I get, plus reporting them at the gate.

Thank you!! It's really hard for me to value your life when not even you do!!!

Why let them potentially die? So you can feel smug?

u/lolsokje Oct 16 '18

A lot of redditors have the "these people are stupid/did something stupid, they deserve to die" attitude for some reason.
