Three Questions

With Technology rising exponentially, new inventions and innovations follow naturally. But I think with every gadget or machine we create and re-create, we must ask ourselves three primary questions:

1. What's your intuition about the device?
2. What does logic say about it?
3. What does your conscience dictate?

Let's apply these with the development of nuclear weapons.
1. Is there gonna be another World War in the near future (like in our lifetime or the next) that you insist on building weapons of mass destruction? My intuition is none.
2. Logic says it can happen or not.
3. What does your conscience says about killing people? All people have conscience that they have it in their hearts to know what is right and what is wrong.

So if your gut feel is that there wouldn't be a World War happening soon and your heart says its wrong to kill people then why develop nuclear weapons when it can be used in progressive ventures like power plants. Of course, you develop these weapons and military as a deterrent to crime like the police are doing. No problem with policing I think but there should be only one policing body like the United Nations for the whole world that every nation will respect, trust and have compromises.
