This is a wonderful read. I think about this a great deal. This would be a wonderful addition to the studies being done on the effects of technology on society. How can we evolve technologically and still find value. I thinks it's possible. Thanks for sharing this.

I believe what they may be referring to is "sense of entitlement" for something coming to one. And I resonate with what you say as well, here's to rowing away from the rocks! HUG!

looking out on the wonders of the world, or even in my own backyard, the beauty of nature, listening to the birds singing while enjoying my coffee in the morning. I did nothing myself in order to experience these lovely things, yet here I am enjoying them and experiencing them and grateful for their presence (and importance) in my life...I think that may be another way to interpret the quote.
