Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson
It seems to me that perfection of means and confusion of goals seems to characterize our age.
Summary
In this quote, the speaker suggests that the current era is marked by a peculiar imbalance between the perfection of means and the confusion of goals. This could be interpreted as a criticism of modern society's focus on efficiency, technology, and advancement, without a clear understanding or direction of what truly matters or what the ultimate goals should be. It implies that while we may possess remarkable tools and capabilities, we often lack clarity and purpose in how we use them, possibly leading to a sense of emptiness or aimlessness.
