QUOTE 18: EVOLUTION
"Evolution is not technological advancements. Evolution is 'organic', not 'artificial'. I hope people realize, understand and know that there is a big big 'difference' between the two."
_EXPLANATION:
This quote is very pertinent in today's times. There is nothing wrong with technology but if you think that just because we have all these sleek gadgets with cool functions which is making our life comfortable, our society is progressing and we are evolving, then you need to give a second thought to that. What good is technology if we as Human Beings continue to feed greed, hatred, violence, wage wars, act selfish, destroy the natural environment and compete with one another to the point of destroying each other? Is that evolution? Technology is artificial and not organic and what is happening is that as artificial intelligence becomes smarter, Human Beings on the other hand are getting dumber and dumber as well as becoming more and more dependent on technology. Yes, technology makes life more comfortable but that 'comfort' is coming at a big cost and 'comfort' is not everything. So know and understand that there is a big difference between what is 'organic' and what is 'artificial' and if we are to evolve, it has to be 'organic'. So only when Human Beings lay the foundation of society with compassion, love, peace, tolerance, respect, valor, integrity, forgiveness, understanding and humility which are all virtues of the HEART, then is when we as a race can be deemed to have 'evolved'.
