Maybe the real issue here is that we were not created to do life by ourselves. We were not given a sentence of solitary confinement and placed in a world of isolation, but from the moment we entered this human experience, it was clear there was a world waiting to be discovered, creatures which were there for our interaction. And the spark inside us often has to be spoken to, to be touched by the soul of another. It’s as if the spark is only visible through the lens of night vision, a set of goggles which only another human being can hand to us. .Stephen Lovegrove
About This Quote
Night vision goggles, which allow the user to see clearly at night were invented by a military engineer named John Thomas House in 1916. The inventor was inspired by his own experiences as a soldier in World War 1. During the war, House would often look outside his tent and see how pitch dark it was. He envisioned the idea of a device which would help soldiers see at night and could give them an advantage over their enemies.
