Quote by George Orwell

Mankind is not likely to salvage civilization unless he can evolve a system of good and evil which is independent of heaven and hell.

Mankind is not likely to salvage civilization unless he can

Summary

This quote suggests that in order for humanity to save and preserve civilization, it is necessary to establish a moral framework that is not solely reliant on religious concepts of reward and punishment in the afterlife. Instead, there needs to be a system of distinguishing between good and evil that is grounded in human values and ethics, independent of any divine judgment. By doing so, mankind can take responsibility for their actions and work towards a just and equitable society, regardless of notions of heaven and hell.
