"Man knows so much and does so little"

This quote by R. Buckminster Fuller speaks to the capacity of mankind and the space between what we understand and what we do. It recommends that we have a great capability for knowledge, however that we are not using it to its maximum potential. We have the capability to do so much more than we are currently doing, but we are not making the most of it. This quote is a pointer to us to use our understanding to make a favorable impact on the world. We have the power to make a difference, but we need to act to do so. We need to use our knowledge to develop a better future for ourselves and for future generations. We need to use our knowledge to create a more fair and sustainable world. We need to use our understanding to create a world where everybody can thrive.
