What are thoughts?
Are they humanity’s methods for progressing?
Or are they the cause of evil?

Are thoughts simply messages your brain sends to your body?
Or is it your soul trying to escape from its chains?
Thoughts lead to action,
People’s thoughts have allowed us to progress.
Thoughts have made our lives easier.
But at what cost?
With our thoughts we have been destroying the world.
Einstein is considered the father of the atomic age.
He was a pacifist who simply wanted to help science.
But his thoughts led to the atomic bomb.
A weapon so powerful, capable of destroying a city in seconds.
A weapon capable of saving thousands of lives,
by killing thousands of people.
A weapon that can permanently scar a nation’s history.
Were Einstein’s thoughts good or evil?
Did he help humanity or hinder it?
Did he save lives or did he take them?

Gunpowder was originally used in fireworks,
to make people happy.
Now they are used in weapons of war.
Guns have helped people defend themselves.
However, they have made our daily lives more dangerous.
Someone armed with a gun can take the lives,
of both children and adults.
The person they shot could have created the cure for cancer.
The person they shot could have been a corrupt tyrant.
The person they shot could have been...an average person.
