"We want to arrive at that delicate balance
where science will not deprive us of our
humanity but will serve us with humaneness:
where it will help us solve our problems
rather than add to them or create new ones."
Eknath Easwaran
Improvements made by scientific and entrepreneur endeavors have created a life style for us including technology and advanced understanding of the past, current, and future dynamics of history. It would seem that man thrives with power, which becomes conflicted with narcissistic behaviors.
Thankfully there are many small groups who are banning together planting community gardens for themselves, local restaurants, and the poor; teaching the less fortunate how to build inexpensive homes; and creating free tents as shelters or giving coats, blankets, soap and sanitary products. This undercurrent of conscientious people is causing a wave of healing and hopefully scientific leaders will focus on ways to help those in need rather than designing tools for war.
