What Lucretius can teach us

Lucretius was around about 100 years before the birth of Christ, he advocated the study of the natural sciences as a form of ethical psychotherapy and the reduction of emotional anxiety.   There is something very emotionally cleansing about the study and the absorption of  SCIENCE.

Scientific knowledge gives one a sense of emotional gracefulness and lead us away from  emotionally subsiding in the quicksand of bourgeois humanitarian seriousness.
