< to create or to destroy? There is an interesting quote I heard today and it gives me no peace, so to speak. I'm not sure whether I might say "quote" or not, because of the large number of words in it. Anyway, the quote is: "Nobody has seen an atom. Even in a super electron microscope you can't see an atom. We've observed its activity, but we have never seen an atom as such; however, we have broken it. We are capable of breaking things even if we cannot see them. We are very proud of this these days." After a small pause the author added: "Whether we can make it or not is a questionable thing, but we can break anything we want. Even if we cannot see something, we can break it." I'm also not sure if I wrote down his words without mistakes from the perspective of English grammar, but I caught the essence of the words accurately. It's important to add, the author said those words without feelings of pride or something like that. He said that with deep disappointment, and at the same time with mockery, that nowadays humanity is too complacent and too proud of their achievements, so we often don't pay attention to the fact that we tend to destroy, but not to create. Perhaps, if we pay attention to what we do and how that affects the world as well as creatures around us, we will be able to create more and destroy less. Let's create instead of destroying! It's harder, but more enjoyable : )
