Your question is an altered version of something that has been said about fire, that it is a good servant but a bad master. Science is certainly a good servant, and a good teacher as well. We have learned a lot from science.
stress is a good servant since it enables one think more about a solution and also a bad master since it leads to poor health where one suffers due to much thinking.

Science is a Good Servant but Bad Master
Water can be a poor servant when it causes floods or damages property, and a bad master when it leads to drowning or poses a danger in large quantities. Its unpredictable nature can make it challenging to control and manage, making it both a risky servant and master.
Fire is a good servant but a bad master is a phrase that best describes fire. When it is controlled it will serve the purpose very well but when it is out of control it can cause serious destruction.

If this phrase, "Fire is a good servant but a bad master", is meant metaphorically and not literally, then consider substituting "drugs" for fire, and write an essay on the many wonderful uses of drugs in the cure and prevention of diseases (penicillin, antibiotics, vaccines) and the horrible devastation that results when drugs become the master (cocaine, heroin, methamphetamines).
Money is a good servant because it can get you almost anything you want, but a dangerous master, because money might become the most important thing in your life, and that you would do anything for it.
It is said so because if it is in our control then it can be used for many good purposes but once if it goes out of control then it causes us so many problems. I hope this helps you!!
The parable of the unforgiving servant is about a servant who owed a large debt to his master. The master forgave the servant's debt, but the servant then refused to forgive a smaller debt owed to him by another servant. The master was angry and punished the unforgiving servant for his lack of forgiveness. This parable teaches that forgiveness is important and that we should forgive others as we have been forgiven.
The opposite of master is slave.
