Quote by Eha
Must the interest of life wane for us all as the progress of knowledge curtails the playground of imagination? No doubt it must in some measure, but there is another cause.I believe that in these days we have too many occupations, too many interests; we know too many things, and, if you will, have too many advantages and facilities. Our faculty of taking an interest is dissipated and frittered away.
Summary
This quote suggests that as knowledge and progress increase, our ability to feel genuine interest in life may diminish. The author argues that the numerous occupations, interests, and advantages available to us in modern times scatter and weaken our capacity to be truly engaged. With an overwhelming amount of information and opportunities, our focus becomes diluted, resulting in a decreased ability to fully invest in and appreciate the world around us.
