样稿原作

It is hard to imagine our modern world would be like without the contributions of artists and scientists to society now and in the past. Arts of various forms have made emotional sense of mankind by providing spiritual beauty in harmony with nature. Science, in comparison, has discovered in part the truth about nature, bringing about many inventions changing the world into a different one.

Thanks to great masters of arts such as Michael Angelo, Vicente Van Gogh or Pablo Picasso, etc., our society has inherited valuable insights into the hearts of human beings. The contributions of artists to society since known history have been mainly spiritual. Since arts imitate life and nature, artists are holding mirrors to the inner nature where lies the meaning of life. The work of artists is subjective and idealistic as compared with the work of scientists, being objective and materialistic.

Scientists since ancient Greece to the 20th-century discovery of DNA have been engaged in searching for truth. Such crucial discoveries as the earth going around the sun by Galileo, the principle of gravity by Newton, the evolution of species by Darwin, and so on, have paved the way for modern science and technology we see today. As a result, communications are faster, labor less strenous, and life more enjoyable. No doubt, more discoveries are coming, bringing more benefits to society.

That the contributions of scientists are valued more today than those of artists is easy to understand. Ours is a materialistic society. Perhaps, there is also beauty about science. According to Albert Einstein, all great scientists are always artists. This statement could have been confirmed by Leonardo da Vinci. Or, by other masters in scienece or arts or both. Great minds think alike.
