One life matters because it influences the events of the universe itself. What does one life matter? What of a homeless person? Though that homeless hobo may not influence someone directly, a person walking nearby may inadvertently be influenced to live differently after they've seen where the choices in life have led another. Even the death of someone not yet accomplished in life affects the entire order of things, someone who's looking for a connection to someone else may never find that someone, the firm that was going to hire that employee will never get their prized worker, the children he may have had will never come to be. So what does one life matter? In view too close to appreciate, one may think life is worth nothing. But in the scheme of things one life can make the difference.
