“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 (physicist and chemist, 1867 – 1934)
I agree with this quote, because I believe that our society is too afraid of climate change and everything else happening on our planet. Many people are focusing on being afraid or bracing themselves for the end of the world, but we should focus on trying to understand whats going on instead, or be researching how to stop it. If we use science to improve our understanding of whats happening, then we might be able to find ways that every one can help to stop it, and we can work together to stop pollution, therefore helping to stop climate change. The quote states that nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood, I think this is good advice for our society, because people are wasting their time being afraid, but everything could be less scary as long as we try to understand it. Overall, I agree with this quote because being afraid is one of society’s biggest weaknesses right now, and understanding is something that we really need more of.
