In your opinion whats worth more?

Question

Ideals or the human lives that they affect?

Answer 1

human lives

Answer 2

The only human life that an ideal is worth more than is the life of the person who holds that ideal.

Answer 3

Your Ideals are far more  important because they  dictate our effect on human lives. Ideals are the soil that our roots rest in, the human lives around us can be however we want to perceive them.  

Answer 4

Since there have been plenty of mistaken "ideals," I will say human lives. Look at the millions of people who have been made miserable or even killed by governments that claimed to have the highest ideals for making a perfect society where all could be happy. No human has the wisdom or power to bring about that sort of society.

Answer 5

The lives they affect.  Ideals are so called because they are high minded and sold to whatever public as the answer to some problem.  As much as the Green initiative and Diversity can be viewed as high minded ideals, in 1930's Germany, the cause of the n***s was seen by many as the answer to frustrations felt by some of the populace as well.  Ideals can propel both those who want to improve mankind, as well as those who wish to further their own station.  The subjectivity of an ideals goals and the tactics used to attain them can only be measured for success by the positive life effects they bring about.
