I have a similar belief, that all lives are equal. But for me, this has led me to accepting that it's natural to value some lives more. In the grand scheme of things, there's nothing about my family that makes them more valuable than any other people on earth. In the grand scheme of things, I don't think they're more valuable than other animals. But they're more valuable to me. Similarly, my own life is valuable to me. It doesn't mean that I'm actually more valuable than others on an objective scale, and I expect that other people will also value their own lives and the lives of their loved ones. This is a natural feeling, and I think it's only a problem when you lack empathy.

Depending on how far you take this philosophy, it can become very difficult. For example, if all life is equal, is it okay to kill an animal that's threatening you? Is it okay to kill insects because they're an annoyance? If they're poisonous? And if you do value those lives less, does that mean you don't actually believe all life is equal? I'm not picking a fight -- for me, at least, these are real ethical questions to consider. And for many people, complete pacifism, even just with humans, can be a very difficult moral stance to stick to.

And while I agree with you about choice, I don't think people always feel like they have a choice when they're in a life or death situation.

I don't think there's anything wrong with taking the philosophy that all life is equal to the conclusion you're taking it to. I can have a lot of respect for pacifism. But I don't agree that believing all life is equal means that killing in self-defense is necessarily wrong.
