“Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.”

– Marie Curie

This quote resonates with me because if we spend less time worrying and more time understanding we can gain enough knowledge that generations after us won’t have to worry. Humans fear the unknown. If we don’t know what it is, then we don’t know what is is capable of. Verse if we do the research and gain the knowledge we know what it is and we can assist in the prevention and/or avoidance of that substance. For example in the 1980’s cancer took a huge toll on humans. Loss of limbs, or even loss of life. Fast forward to today where we have done the research and gained the knowledge, every person that is diagnosed with cancer knows that they have a chance of survival. Once we stop fearing the unknown we can gain knowledge and assist in the prevention or eradication of the disease.
