Explore Internally, Locally or Externally
Which for you should Man in general devote more time, energy and money towards exploring:
Internally: Our human body
Locally: Our environment on Earth
Externally: Space exploration
I believe that by studying the nature of the world around us, we will find cures to diseases and patterns applicable to all life. One cannot accurately understand the human body without also understanding the structure of other animals, the biological effects of chemicals and foods, or the environmental trends that will affect the body. When it comes down to it, I believe that changes in attitude and thought process will affect public health and quality of life far more than new medicines or therapies. Not that they are not important, but we do place too much emphasis on the power of drugs and not enough on the power of believing. To study the world is to study ourselves.
I believe in the power of the human body and the extreme powers that lie inside. Our bodies if properly understood could heal itself it has the ability. Once we understand the human body, especially the mind then everything else will start to fall into place, and will be understood better.
I think the human body (internally) should be afforded the most time and effort. The human body is a complex structure and understanding it can really benefit mankind in healing and even preventing diseases and sickness. On the flip side, the least amount of money and time should be devoted to external or space exploration. We need to understand and explore our planet and ourselves before we try to understand others.
While space exploration is fascinating, we still understand very little of our own planet, and very little of the human body. The more we discover, the more we realize how little we know. I think a study of the earth is ultimately tied to a study of the human body -- the two are inexorably linked by the combination of chemicals called air, water, and matter that are created by the world and ingested, processed, and eliminated by the body. Body and earth are intertwined; I don't think a study of one excludes the other. Fascinating stuff, in my opinion.
