Question

"It is difficult to resist the conclusion that 20th century man is trying to abolish himself. Tired of the struggle to be himself, he has created boredom out of his own affluence, impotence out of his own erotomania, and vulnerability out of his own strength. He himself blows the trumpet that brings the walls of his own city crashing down until at last, having educated himself into imbecility, having drugged and polluted himself into stupefaction, he keels over a weary, battered old brontosaurus and becomes extint"---malcolm muggeridge

Answer 1

It is spot on. We are responsible for our own behavior starting with our lack of compassion for ourselves and others.. great quote! Best to you.

Answer 2

Yes, and all the while Buddha has been enlightened for 2500 years. Pity, maybe modern man should look into a few of the "crack pot" theories and come to his own conclusions about the meaning of life.

Answer 3

Yeah. Not true for all, but is evident in society..especially when you look at mainstream media. The 20th century man is trying to abolish himself. Sad thing is that he doesn't know it. I wish people would wake up. I think they will...eventually. Cheers. :)
