This quote suggests that technology is not inherently destructive, but rather it becomes destructive when wielded by individuals who fail to recognize their interconnectedness with the natural world. It implies that humans, technology, and the universe are all intertwined in a single process. Hence, viewing technology as separate from oneself and the universe leads to misuse and negative consequences. By acknowledging this interconnectedness, there is potential for responsible and harmonious integration of technology into our lives.
