Finding an address is one thing...
Finding one's way in life is another.
Here is an amazing opinion piece published in the New York Times titled "Don't Turn Away from the Art of Life" sent to me by Gurkaran Singh.
My favorite paragraph:
The regime of information may well sport its specific truths, but it is locked out of the associations — subjective but also moral and philosophical — that bathe all literature. A new technology like GPS provides us with the most efficient and direct route to a destination, but it presupposes we know where we are going. Finding an address is one thing; finding one’s way in life is another. Even our smartest computers or most brilliant statisticians are at a loss when it comes to mapping our psychic landscapes.
