The objective nature of human beings can be deduced, from the fact that man is a destructible being. And as such, his life, health and indeed his well-being are not automatic in its functionality. On the contrary, it is contingent upon the successful application and maintenance in consonance with his reality that necessitate the science of ethic.

In order to figure out what benefit the life and health of man as a being, is not a matter of whim or an arbitrary process, but the determination of the objective nature of reality of man. It is also true that ethical precepts, like the term of right and wrong, good and evil.etc, are not subjective non just a matter of opinion. But they are objective in nature as a matter of factual reality in human nature.

Ethical principles and objective values, is rooted in the realm of science and not in subjective opinion, as some people would have everyone to assume. And objective value, just like in every individual, varies from one environment to the other, and in particular, at the level of concrete values. And there are hierarchies of values in diverse circumstances we often have to contend.

Take for instance, two individuals of A and B who may come to find themselves in diverse circumstances. Such circumstance of which A may find himself in the wilderness with portable water, but no food. The other circumstance of which B may come to find himself in a deserted environment with food but not with portable water. It becomes obvious, that A with portable water, food becomes the greater objective value than portable water while for B with food; portable water becomes the greater objective value than water.

Therefore, distinguishing between the relative value of food and water between the two individual, it is obvious that it can never be a matter of opinion but of facts based on the different reality they had to contend. The same is true, that in practical terms, this is the reality we currently refuse or denied to acknowledge that actually exist, that require to be face up to in our collective reality.
