Answer 1

that's an amazing quote, it made me shiver when I read it.

It's completely true.

Mankind has got so caught up in industry and technology and draining earth's resources that we've stopped experiencing life. Instead of doing scientific research into the origins of the universe and trying to find out all of it's secrets we should just be experiencing it and questioning it but not to the scientific extent, which we do because humans need to be in control of everything. Why can't we just accept that there are some things bigger than us?

Technology provides shortcuts and distractions, and that is why we love it.
