I got an email from a high-school kid. He went through my charity's leadership camp the previous Summer. He wrote to thank us. Because of the camp, he felt he had the skills to organize the memorial service for his friends who were gunned down earlier in the week. I cried like a baby when I read his email.
My point is that the things we do affect people far removed from us. When we discover the heavy implications, sometimes it can be overwhelming. Mr. Nobel started a peace prize when his invention (dynamite) was weaponized. I bet Steve felt guilt and sadness that his invention cost a father his son.
