Bhavesh's Tryst

I will quote here Erich Fromn, a renowned scholar and psychologist of this century “Man's pride has been justified. By virtues of his reason he has built a material world, the reality of which surpasses even the dreams and vision of fairy tales and utopias. He harnesses physical energies, which will enable the human race to secure material conditions necessary for dignified and productive existence. Yet modern man feels uneasy and more and more bewildered. He works and strives, but he is dimly aware of a sense of fertility with regards to his activities. While his power over matter grows he feels powerless in his individual life and in society. “While becoming the master of nature, he has become the slave of machine which his own hands built. With all his knowledge about matter, he is ignorant with regard to the most important and fundamental questions of human existence. : What man is, how he ought to live and how the tremendous energies within man can be released and used productively? (quoted from “Man for himself” )
