Quote from the book "The Third Wave" by Alvin Toffler. The book was published in 1980.
No single world view can ever capture the whole truth. Only by applying multiple and temporary metaphors can we gain a rounded (if still incomplete) picture of the world. But to acknowledge this axiom is no the same as saying life is meaningless. Indeed, even if life is meaningless in some cosmic sense, we can and often do construct meaning, drawing it from decent social relations and picturing ourseleves as part of a larger drama - the coherent unfolding of history.
I really like the way the author uses his words to express his ideas with clarity.
This book has been a great influencer for me, revealing so many of new ideas that I wasn't aware of and also expressing some of the ideas that I have in an eloquent way.
