Modern life, in general, is filled with so much minutiae to preoccupy our minds. It causes us to focus in on little picture issues, and discourages us from focusing out to ponder big picture issues.
In the pre industrial age, people were more likely to question the meaning of life, how we got here, what happens to us when we die. In the modern world, asking those kinds of questions can get you dismissed as a frivolous dreamer.....”why don’t you do something constructive like organizing your spread sheets!”
Modern life has made people less religious, less respectful of God. The cellphones and social media are just pushing us even more in that direction.
