There are tons of people in the world that value wealth and items more than human life itself, which is sad.

Yes, and everyone else feels the same on some level. Nobody actually places an infinite value on human life, because in order to do so, they would have to make real material sacrifices.
But you have ignored the most important part of my post, which is the importance of suffering vs wellbeing.
It could be a balloon. It could be Franky. It could be very fresh and clean. It could be those ways. -

Virtually everyone values their own money over other people's lives. If they didn't they'd have spent everything but the absolute minimum they needed to survive on trying to help others.
But they don't, so any justification about "needing" X or Y (and spending their money on that) is just a lie to excuse the fact that they care more about things/money than people.
If you're happy and you know it, go sit in the corner and think about your life. -

Of course.
If I had a button that would give me ten thousand dollars whenever I pushed it, but every time I pushed it one thousand people died.. I'd press it and press it till I had enough money to buy everything I ever dreamed of.
