A stirring example of the speed of human progress – the technology view:
1903 Orville & Wilbur Wright stay aloft for 59 seconds
1927 Charles Lindbergh flies across the Atlantic in 34 hours
1969 Neil Armstrong walks on the moon
A stirring example of the speed of human progress – the developmental view:
50,000 years ago: the human search for meaning begins; males of the species find it difficult to admit being wrong
2,500 years ago: the human search for meaning continues; males of the species find it difficult to admit being wrong
Today: the human search for meaning continues; males of the species find it difficult to admit being wrong.
If we hide behind our work, our technology, our stuff, we surely forget where to find real meaning in our lives. Say “I’m sorry” today, forgive someone today, have a real conversation today. You won’t regret it.
