"Notre puissance scientifique a surpassé notre puissance spirituelle. Nous avons des missiles guidés et des hommes égarés."
— Martin Luther King Jr.

Simplified Meaning:
Our ability to create and use advanced technology has grown much faster than our ability to grow morally and spiritually. For instance, we have developed powerful weapons like missiles that can hit precise targets. However, we still struggle with issues like greed, hatred, and injustice. This means that while we can control amazing machines, we have a hard time controlling our own behaviors and values. Imagine having a smartphone that connects you to the world, but using it to spread falsehoods or hurtful comments instead of good information. The idea is to remind us to focus not just on advancing our technology, but also on becoming better and kinder people. By doing so, we will make sure our power is used for good, not harm.
