Ronald MallettWe are the result of the universe attempting to understand itself
About This Quote
The "Greater Good" is one of the most common phrases that can be heard in a classroom, a boardroom or a courtroom. It is a phrase that has been used to justify almost any sort of action, from war to torture to murder. In fact, it is so commonly used that it has been incorporated into various forms of popular culture. The phrase itself may be referring to something larger than human beings or even the universe itself.
In modern times, the phrase is often used to refer to the welfare of people and the planet as a whole. But, what does this mean? Is it really possible for any being to understand the universe at all? If so, how can we know if actions are actually for the greater good? This quote by Albert Einstein illustrates that everything in our world was made by a greater power that we cannot see or understand.
