We have too much technological progress, life is too hectic, and our society has only one goal: to invent still more technological marvels to make life even easier and better. The craving for every new scientific discovery breeds a hunger for greater comfort and the constant struggle to achieve it. All that kills the soul, kills compassion, understanding, nobility. It leaves no time for caring what happens to other people, least of all criminals.
The quote from Henri Charrière's "Papillon" reflects a critical view of modern society's relentless pursuit of technological advancements. It suggests that this obsession with progress often leads to a frantic lifestyle, causing individuals to prioritize convenience over meaningful human connections. The continuous drive for new inventions can detract from our capacity for compassion and understanding, as the hustle and bustle of life leaves little room for genuine concern for others.
