I suppose it's a good line for people who need that kind of new-age nonsense to get through life. Personally, I find it quite funny that people need those kinds of mantras. Really, you need a bunch of one-liners to live?

What does "to live for" mean, anyway?

People are prepared to take great risks with their lives for all kinds of reasons, a mercenary soldier, an asylum seeker hiding under a train in order to reach a more prosperous land and different values are placed on different things depending upon context, a bag of diamonds may be less valuable in a desert than a canister of water if you are lost and thirsty.

Oh dear Robbie.

I have been in the presence of many asylum seekers housed in Glasgow and not a few have admitted to being economic migrants and there is no shame in it never the less its no surprise that you have completely misunderstood and misconstrued the intent, after all, its no great thing to risk your life when its in real danger is it, but to hide under a train or a sealed container for economic prosperity is. Your politically correct jive talk has no place here, we are dealing with reality, not what you hear on radio 4, oh dear indeed.

I acknowledge that text on a forum is a cumbersome vehicle for expression and that its difficult to gauge intent but never the less after all we’ve been through, you and I, could you not have at least given me the benefit of the doubt! I wont say I've lost faith in you, but a little respect please 😛

A lie, like evilution or there is no God. Another lie I am not willing to die for is that God forbids blood transfusions.
