Life and Death
Jar was expressing a very old, and quite humanist philosophy (sorry jar). One of the better expressions of this is found in JRR Tolkein's Lord of the Rings (believe it or not):
​
Frodo: (referring to Golum) He deserves death.
​
Gandalf: Deserves death? I daresay he does. Many that live deserve death. And many that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Be not so quick to mete out death in judgement...
