“Black Lives Matter” is the phrase that is gaining widespread momentum in the wake of incidents related to racial discrimination. That black lives do matter is an indisputable fact. However, God created all living beings without partisanship.

In spite of apparent diversity in the underlying form and size of humankind is a cosmic life force governing and monitoring the life of each and every living being. If at all discrimination is to be decided it ought to be decided on the basis of color of the blood. And soon the word “discrimination” would appear to be irrelevant, illogical, unscientific. Therefore, instead of the slogan “Black Lives Matter, ” the more appropriate, more logical, more reasonable phrase ought to be “All Lives Matter” or “Every Life Matters.”
