Compassionate Science

Science without compassion is like a seed without water.  It’s like being in the dark without a flashlight.  One need to set a goal and aim to achieve but, if in the end of the day it all just comes down to the big digit on the pay check then one needs to wake up and realize the key to success is missing, compassion.  Take for example those who are using technology to discover a cure for caner.  If those medical scientists didn’t obtain compassion then their interest to actually achieving a cure would be insignificant.  As long as they arrive at their work and act as if they were actually aiming for a successful discovery then their paycheck would gladly arrive in the mailbox.  I personally experienced the amazement of how compassion and technology join together to cure those in need.  I experienced a minor defect within my left leg as a child in which could be cured but through a surgery.  Yet, before any procedures could be made that involved a knife to my skin I had to use a special foot cast.  This cast would support and straighten my ankle to actually touch the floor correctly since my minor defect was that I would walk on tippy toes with my left foot.  Due to technology and its wonderful creations I may not be completely normal but after all was done it demonstrates to me that someone out there found the desire to take the time and improve my life with the compassionate use of science and technology that they had knowledge of.
