“Science does not tell us how to live." (Leo Tolstoy, 1828-1910)
Leo Tolstoy being a philosopher and a notable novelist believes according to this quote that science and the rules pertaining from it do not answer the question of life. Why we can exist when something clearly cannot come from nothing? However he believes that religion can answer this question.
Another aspect of this quotation is how science does not help humans to live through life happily through various scientific systems, for example modern society or even technology. Humans are not able to peacefully live and interact together in a community. However I disagree, as sociology, the study of the origin, development, organization, and functioning of human society, have created architecture that is constantly improving to address bodies of individuals living as members of a community. Other sciences, such as Psychology has helped understand the human mind and their behavior leading to breakthroughs in attitudes and methods in living life.
