This is an act based on materialism. In the philosophic sense is based on the ideas that matter is the only thing in the universe that has reality, and that matters is the basis of all that exists. Materialism performs thinking that physical changes in the body and nervous system cause all mental processes. It’s justified by pointing out that people can really know only what they see, hear, smell, taste, or touch. This denies the existence of mind or soul as distinct from matter, and insists that feelings, and thoughts will have no independent existence.

Materialism has always been a popular philosophy among most scientists, because, if everything in the world is made of matter, then we can analyze and understand the world according to the laws which govern the way matter behaves, this idea is called scientific materialism. According to it, everything that exists now is the result of factors and conditions that existed before, and everything that will exist in the future must develop from some combination or change in the factors and conditions that exist now. This idea is often called mechanism.

We are compel to save society which in turn will save “the world will make you suffer. But be brave! I have defeated the world”.
