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.
