Summary

This quote highlights the paradox of our technologically advanced world. Despite the constant connectivity provided by phones, email, and faxes, the author implies that these tools do not alleviate feelings of loneliness. It suggests that even with the ability to communicate instantly, human connection and genuine companionship cannot be replaced. No matter how connected we are digitally, there is still a need for meaningful, in-person interactions, which technology often fails to provide.

I do not believe one can settle how much we ought to give. I am afraid the only safe rule is to give more than we can spare. In other words, if our expenditure on comforts, luxuries, amusements, etc, is up to the standard common among those with the same income as our own, we are probably giving away too little. If our charities do not at all pinch or hamper us, I should say they are too small. There ought to be things we should like to do and cannot do because our charitable expenditure excludes them.

There can be no doubt that distrust of words is less harmful

There can be no doubt that distrust of words is less harmful than unwarranted trust in them. Besides, to distrust words, and indict them for the horrors that might slumber unobtrusively within them --isn't this, after all, the true vocation of the intellectual?

The two principles of truth, reason and senses, are not only

The two principles of truth, reason and senses, are not only both not genuine, but are engaged in mutual deception. The senses deceive reason through false appearances, and the senses are disturbed by passions, which produce false impressions.
