Isaac AsimovThe saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.
About This Quote
Albert Einstein once said, “The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.” This quote is about the growing gap between what we know and how we act on it. Today, we know many things that could help us live better lives. We have the means to live longer, healthier lives. We also have the means to cure many illnesses that may have never been cured while still alive.
Unfortunately, this knowledge doesn't seem to be making an impact on our everyday lives. Instead, it seems to be gathering dust in a library or trapped in a journal hidden away from the public. In other words, we know a lot about how humans should live their lives but don't do enough to start acting on it.
