During this time, de Botton was reflecting on the disillusionment of modern society, where technological advancements have outpaced our emotional and spiritual growth.\n\n**The Hidden Insight**\nThe quote reveals a counter-intuitive truth about the trade-offs between scientific progress and emotional well-being. On one hand, our pre-scientific ancestors had a sense of humility before the vastness of the universe, which fostered a sense of peace and perspective. On the other hand, our modern era, with its emphasis on human achievement and technological advancement, has led to a culture of self-aggrandizement and moral complacency, where we often find ourselves venerationg our fellow human beings without a broader sense of context.\n\n**How to Use This**\nTo cultivate a more balanced and humble outlook, consider adopting a \"cosmic perspective\" in your daily life. Take time to reflect on the vastness of the universe and the infinitesimal nature of human existence, which can help you put your own accomplishments and challenges into perspective and foster a sense of awe and humility.",{"id":201,"quote_text":202,"author_id":203,"source_id":16,"has_image":17,"author":204,"source":208,"quote_tag":209,"commentary":23},2819130,"Pride and conceit were the original sins of man.",10320,{"id":203,"author_name":205,"slug":206,"author_name_first_letter":21,"article_count":207,"image_url":23},"Alain-René Lesage","alain-rene-lesage",16,{},[210,213,218],{"id":211,"tag":212},5805158,{"id":5,"tag_name":6},{"id":214,"tag":215},5805156,{"id":216,"tag_name":217},1713,"pride",{"id":219,"tag":220},5805161,{"id":221,"tag_name":222},2063,"sin",{"id":224,"quote_text":225,"author_id":226,"source_id":16,"has_image":17,"author":227,"source":231,"quote_tag":232,"commentary":23},2819097,"Cursed in earth and subdued by death, man found himself beset by time, and his instincts put to the test.
