The quote from Paul Bowles' "The Spider's House" suggests that the most significant damage inflicted by modern society isn't just physical or material. Instead, it focuses on the more insidious harm to the human spirit, which is often overlooked but profoundly impactful. This highlights the idea that while tangible destruction can be repaired, the erosion of hope, values, and the essence of humanity is far more concerning.
