Summary

This quote illustrates the dual nature of technology, emphasizing both its benefits and potential harms. It compares technology to a double-edged sword, suggesting that just like fire, it can be used as a tool for progress or as a source of destruction. While technology can enhance our lives by improving convenience, efficiency, and communication, it also has the potential to cause harm or unintended consequences if not used responsibly or with proper safeguards. It serves as a reminder to approach technology with caution and awareness of its potential positive and negative impacts.

It is not enough to be compassionate. You must act. There are two aspects to action. One is to overcome the distortions and afflictions of your own mind, that is, in terms of calming and eventually dispelling anger. This is action out of compassion.

Laws gain their authority from actual possession and custom: it is perilous to go back to their origins; laws, like our rivers, get greater and nobler as they roll along: follow them back upstream to their sources and all you find is a tiny spring, hardly recognizable; as time goes by it swells with pride and grows in strength.
