....about the ability to fly. That, our ancestors figured, would surely alter everything. It's now close to 230 years since the first hot air balloon carried humans towards the heavens. Has this amazing invention allowed us to conquer war, end famine or eradicate cruelty? It has just allowed more of us to travel further and made a worrying contribution to climate change!
We should always aspire to progress. But at times we must show caution. We may well progress but we can't always be sure it will do for us all that we hoped it would.
Without continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, achievement,
and success have no meaning. (Benjamin Franklin)
