Quote by Vaclav Havel
As soon as man began considering himself the source of the highest meaning in the world and the measure of everything, the world began to lose its human dimension, and man began to lose control of it.
Summary
This quote suggests that when humans started believing that they were the ultimate source of purpose and significance in the world, they became disconnected from their own humanity. As a result, the world began to lose its human touch and started to become chaotic. By considering themselves as the measure of everything, humans also lost their ability to effectively manage and govern the world. This quote highlights the importance of recognizing our limitations and embracing our interconnectedness with the world to maintain a sense of control and understanding.
