Primum Non Nocere (First, Do No Harm!)

Roughly in the stone ages, people pretty much lived similar the way we do in terms of behaviours especially in pubic outings. But there’s one thing that changed over the course of time, we have shifted from laws based on superstitions, beliefs and traditions to one made of facts and evidence-based usually proven by sciences.

As we live in a century thats completely changed, I hold a firm belief that there’s one law that must be upheld through the course of time if we are going to continue to see the future.

It is the belief that I must not harm others.

We are already violating this principle whenever we feel it’s necessary to. For example, the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine. And now Germany is getting involved.

Now that’s the big overview, let’s zoom in a bit. Let’s look into our daily life. The “minuscule” actions we take every day. The argument here, the little stolen money there. The dash of coercing. The pinch of ultimatum.

They are all harming people, the people you love.

I am leaving you with this

A man once asked the wise one, ‘May I do whatever I please?’ The sage replied, ‘You may, so long as your pleasure does not become another’s pain. For freedom without compassion is tyranny in disguise.
