We
believe that God has created the world including our lives. We have faith that God
takes every care for us. So in order to express our gratitude towards God, we
have created temples, churches or premises to worship God. Not only that, we
have created the religions - the systems of living the lives under the
blessings of God.
Political leaders and Religion leaders or saint lead, guide and help people to improve
their lives. And a scientist is an altruistic person who makes research on the
matters, finds out the rules and laws of material world for improvements of
lives of people. Leaders and scientists both have similar purpose of their
lives that is “helping people”. But their paths for helping the people are
different. Leaders walk on the path built on emotions of people where as
scientists walk on the path constructed on intelligence of people. Moreover,
the leaders are extrovert persons live between the people where as scientists
are introvert persons live aloof for the benefits of people. Therefore,
most scientists remain unknown to common people and so they are not popular
like political or religious leaders.
Literally
speaking intelligence is a property of mind and emotion is a property of
heart. People can be more influenced
through emotional appeal rather than intelligent approach. That is why the
person who can win the hearts of people can become a leader. So people like the
leaders and follow them. And In order to respect and remember them, people make
their statues and put in public places or premises.
Some great scientists have devoted their entire lives for new creations to make the world
a better living place. The world and the quality of lives have improved greatly
on the contributions given by scientists. Even though there are no considerable
public places, premises or statues of scientists to express the gratitude
towards them. Evan their names and their researches exist only in the books
of records. Why not even a scientist's day to remember them? Why this discrimination towards the scientists?
There
is a tradition to pay homage to a person who had sacrificed his or her life for
a noble cause in the benefit of living world. This cultural behavior of people
is not only to honor and respect the noble person who has passed away, but it
is also to motivate the existing people for encouraging them to perform such
noble acts in the benefit of the world. Do you not think an absence of
tradition for paying homage to scientists is a demotivating factor for
inspiring existing people to be scientists?
I
appeal to all the readers to spread the message for creating the memorial
places or celebrating the events for the scientists in order to develop the
world at a greater pace.
