Recently I was at a seminar on science and religion in Argentina, and one of the participant scientists made a point which I think is very true. He said that it is very important for research scientists to adopt the methodological principle of not being emotionally attached to their field of inquiry. This is because attachment has the negative effect of clouding and narrowing your vision. I totally agree. This is why, through the practice of equanimity, we try to overcome these feelings of partiality so that we can deal with everything and relate to everyone evenhandedly.”
