And today, with all the ecological destruction happening out of financial and political greed, his approach seems almost necessary for our collective survival.
That was a great video! Your editing is really well put together, and your voice is so easily understood. Schweitzer isn’t someone I knew, but his philosophical concept of god is definitely something I’ve thought.
Thank you so much! I know that the audio is not very good. Depending on what device one is using, it can sound terrible. I'm working on improving my audio skills, so let's hope the next one will sound better.
Sir thankyou somuch for making these videos, its so soothing and sublime. It gives me peace and containtment. 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Sir i would request you if you can please make videos on buddhism especials madhyamika, nagarjuna and his theory of emptiness and dependent origination. It my humble request to you.🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you for your kind words! I see many requests for Buddhism videos recently, but unfortunately, I am not a Buddhism expert. But I will look into it and see if I can find a way to make some videos on these topics, perhaps by collaborating with someone who has the necessary expertise. Thanks!
But all animal life can only survive by consuming other life? How does he address this? And is reverence for your own personal life part of his philosophy?
Hi! I cannot presume to answer for him, but if I'd have to guess, I imagine he might say that we have to do what is necessary for our own survival, but without inflicting unnecessary suffering on other creatures. So if you can eat plants instead of meat, you'd minimise suffering because plants don't seem to be capable of suffering to the same extent as mammals. If you have to eat meat because of some compelling reason, you should make sure that it has been obtained with minimal suffering of the animal involved. This would already go a long way towards respecting life, and would be completely different from what we are doing now, where we are torturing animals daily in our meat production facilities, while most people look away and don't want to know where their steak comes from. In the end, living a moral life is an aspiration. Nobody can achieve perfect holiness in their everyday lives, but we can try, or we can ignore the ethical demands placed on us. Schweitzer just wants us to more consciously try to do the right thing, even if it will necessarily be incomplete.
Is All Life Holy? Did Schweitzer answer this question? Did he think Gd manifested himself in the humans who destroy, harm, or hinder life, which he defined as evil? Did he think the lives of those who commit horrific atrocities are to be valued equally with the lives of the innocent victims of those atrocities?
Yes, he did. He thought that all life was equally holy. In one of his works, he refers to Gandhi and cites Jesus, both of whom are known for their insistence that one should love their enemies: "Likewise, Gandhi, who was the most Christian Hindu of the century, once acknowledged that he got the idea of "ahimsa" or nonviolence from the Commandments of Jesus: "But I say unto you that ye resist not evil," and "love your enemies...pray for them who despitefully use you and persecute your, that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven." In both, the ethic of inner perfection is governed by the principle of love." Online here home.pcisys.net/~jnf/mdnstory.html but it's also in his autobiography.

I love the work and philosophical beliefs of Dr. Albert Schweitzer. I hope to follow his teachings on Reverence for Life and carry on his legacy.
And today, with all the ecological destruction happening out of financial and political greed, his approach seems almost necessary for our collective survival.
Thanks for watching! Do you enjoy these videos? Would you prefer a different topic? Tell me what you think in the comments!
