Summary

In the age we live in, we are constantly bombarded with information and knowledge, making us highly aware of the world around us. However, amidst this flood of information, our ability to truly connect and empathize with our own emotions and the emotions of others seems to diminish. Despite being well-informed, we often fail to deeply experience emotions, leading to a disconnect between what we intellectually know and what we genuinely feel. This quote highlights the paradoxical imbalance between our knowledge-driven society and our decreasing ability to genuinely connect on an emotional level.
