I believe you think that. I was just saying things in theory may be different in reality.

This is mad thinking in my opinion. Do you think beings are here for a reason?

I'm not 100% sure of anything and have only working theories.
I never said I thought life ends. There is a semantic problem here. If you kill something, you end its current life (or incarnation). Agreed?

Killing a homeless person to put them out of their misery is not respecting life. Killing a spider in the house because someone thinks it's icky is not respecting life. Killing ants because the kitchen isn't kept clean is not respecting life (as soon as the kitchen is clean, ants will leave). Killing snakes out of fear is not respecting life. Dumping waste in the ocean and killing fish and dolphins and whales etc. is not respecting life.
Would you like to give me a realistic example of how killing respects life?

I didn't say that. I said, decide if you want to be here or not and take responsibility for the decision.

That's just the point, you're not asking (which is why I explained the above about deciding). You're just saying it's okay if it happens. That's fine for you. But please don't think that what's true for you is, or might be, true for everything and everyone else. Free will, remember?
As far as stepping on ants: yes, this happens accidentally all the time. But think about it. Why? Humans have taken over animal habitats. We have invaded their spaces.

Do you mean killing it intentionally or accidentally?

How can you know what another wants? Especially a life-form that can't tell you. Tell me by what process you ascertain this?
