Science without responsibility can be bad



At one stage of evolution, humans unraveled the mysteries hidden beneath the gross nature. They literally “discovered” the vast potential of the immense energy that is hidden in the nature, in its subtle form namely the atom. We discovered atomic energy. But what happened then? Instead of using it for the benefit of humanity, we created atom bombs and busied ourselves in mass destruction and avoidable pain and suffering.

The problem is not with science. It is just that we did not use it responsibly. What we need is to temper science with morality, with ethics, with compassion. In other words, being responsible, ethical, and compassionate not only to ourselves and our people, but to all beings is the next stage of evolution. That would not only ensure our individual existence but our collective existence as well, while making the life of all more livable.

But our evolution has to go further. Let see that in the next post.
