The foundation of morality should not be made dependent on myth nor tied to any authority lest doubt about the myth or about the legitimacy of the authority imperil the foundation of sound judgment and action. I do not believe in immortality of the individual, and I consider ethics to be an exclusively human concern with no superhuman authority behind it. I am satisfied with the mystery of the eternity of life and with the awareness and a glimpse of the marvelous structure of the existing world, together with the devoted striving to comprehend a portion, be it ever so tiny, of the Reason that manifest When I was still a rather precocious young man, I already realized most vividly the futility of the hopes and aspirations that most men pursue throughout their lives. All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree. All these aspirations are directed toward ennobling man's life, lifting it from the sphere of mere physical existence and leading the individual towards freedom. The highest principles for our aspirations and judgements are given to us in the Jewish-Christian religious tradition. It is a very high goal which, with our weak powers, we can reach only very inadequately, but which gives a sure foundation to our aspirations and valuations. Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves. In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity. The process of scientific discovery is, in effect, a continual flight from wonder. Problems cannot be solved at the same level of awareness that created them. Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet To punish me for my contempt for authority, fate made me an authority myself. A man's moral worth is not measured by what his religious beliefs are but rather by what emotional impulses he has received from Nature during his lifetime. People love chopping wood. In this activity one immediately sees results. The world is a dangerous place. Not because of the people who are evil; but because of the people who don't do anything about it. Most Popular Topics:
