Hooray for the Telescope
December 20, 2009 | 05:34 PM
First of all, I would like to express condolences for those who feel that "spirituality" cannot be "mitigated". I understand that many people on this island will feel less spiritual when they look up at the telescope on the mountain. It will, indeed, be huge. And I take most people like "Kahu" Uncle Charlie to be sincere in their feelings. So, I understand that you guys are suffering anxiety. I wish I could ease your pain.
My own perspective on the telescope is somewhat different. When I look up and see it, I expect to feel a sense of awe at the power of the sun and the universe, and a sense of joy that we as humans are developing our science, technologies and understandings of the universe we live in. The knowledge gained will not hurt anyone living on this planet (except perhaps a kahu), and may even benefit the planet as a whole.
