I knew you were going to say that, or something very similar. When I appraised the Human elements of FFVII's story, I examined them in their Human context.Big D these "human" themes reflect the cycles themselves. You fascination with death and love are only glimpses into the divine nature of all things and the human themes are consistent with what happens to the universe, just on a more familiar wavelength.
In your very noble opinion your preference for these themes, demonstrates that you on a more specific scale agree totally with my contention.I know that they're part of the greater whole. I also recognise that they're concepts with considerable Human significance. It could be argued that everything is a part of the greater cycle, that there's no such thing as a 'humanistic' perspective since every assesment is inherently examining some part of the 'big picture'.Now go read up on Frazer; who identified that life, love, death, rebirth and cycle ( I believe you mentioned some of these aspects) were all important in the human condition as THEY REFLECT THE GREATER CYCLE OF ALL THINGS.
It's possible to look at a work's Human values without detracting from, or devaluing its superhuman components.You have read the warning about flaming, haven't you? Please, pay heed.If you were familiar with these scholars you would not be so rash or frivolous in your claims.
It's possible for a theme - such as love or death - to be significant on a Human level and spiritual level. I feel that the Human level is more important for me (since that's what I am, as far as I know), but I'm also allowed to ponder the other aspect of it.
It's all about personal priorities and personal opinions, not whose worldview is superior or inferior.
