Paradox Of Our Times تناقضات عصرنا الحاضر Today we have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, but less time; نملك هذه الأيام منازل أكبر، و أسرّّّ أصغر، ونملك وسائل راحة أكثر، ووقتنا أقل. We have more degrees, but less common sense, more knowledge, but less judgment. لدينا شهادات أكثر، ومنطق أقل، ولدينا معرفة أكثر، وحكمة أقل. We have more experts, but more problems, more medicine, but less wellness. لدينا خبراء أكثر، و مشاكل أكثر، ولدينا أدوية أكثر، وعافية أقل We spend too recklessly, laugh little, drive too fast, get to angry too quickly, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch Tv too often, and pray too seldom اننا ننفق بتدهور، ونضحك قليلا، ونقود سياراتنا بسرعة، ونغضب بسرعة، ونسهر كثيرا، ونستيقظ منهكين، ونقرا قليلا، ونشاهد التلفزيون كثيرا، ونادرا ما نصلي. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, Love too little and lie too often. لقد ضاعفنا ممتلكاتنا، وقللنا قيمنا. اننا نتكلم كثيرا، ونحب قليلا، ونكذب كثيرا جدا. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life, we?ve added years to life, not life to years. لقد تعلمنا كيف نكسب رزقنا، ولم نتعلم كيف نحيا، لقد أضفنا سنوات الى حياتنا، ولم نضف حياة الى سنوات عمرنا. We have taller buildings, but shorter tempers, wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. لدينا مبان أعلى، وطباعا حادة، ولدينا طرقا سريعة أوسع، ووجهات نظر أضيق. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy it less. اننا ننفق أكثر، ونملك أقل، اننا نشتري أكثر، ونستمتع أقل. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor. لقد وصلنا للقمر وعدنا، ولكننا ننزعج من عبور الشارع لزيارة جار جديد. We've conquered outer space, but not inner space. We've split the atom, but not our prejudice. لقد انتصرنا على الفضاء الخارجي، ولم ننتصر على أنفسنا.. لقد شطرنا الذرة، ولم نتغلب على أهوائنا. We write more, but learn less, plan more, but accomplish less. اننا نكتب كثيرا، ونتعلم قليلا، ونخطط كثيرا، وننجز القليل. We've learned to rush, but not to wait, we have higher incomes, but lower morals. لقد تعلمنا العجلة، ولم نتعلم الانتظار، ولدينا دخل أعلى، وأخلاق أدنى. We built more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies, but have less communication. We are long on quantity, but short on quality. اننا نصنع المزيد من أجهزة الكمبيوتر لتحفظ معلومات أكثر، ولتعطي نسخا أكثر، ولكن الاتصال في ما بيننا أقل. لدينا فائض في الكمية، ونقص في النوعية. These are the time of fast foods and slow digestion; tall men and short character, steep profits and shallow relationships. هذه هي أيام الوجبات السريعة والهضم البطيء، رجال طوال القامة، صغار الشخصية، أرباح كبيرة وعلاقات ضحلة. More leisure and less fun, more kinds of food, but less nutrition, two incomes, but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. لدينا الكثير من وقت الفراغ، والقليل من المتعة، لدينا الكثير من أنواع الطعام، والقليل من التغذية. لدينا دخل عال، وطلاق أعلى، لدينا منازل فاخرة، وبيوت محطمة. That's y I propose, that as of today, you do not keep anything for a special occasion, because every day that you live is a special occasion. لذا فانني أقترح اعتبارا من اليوم ان لا تحتفظ بشيء لمناسبة خاصة، لأن كل يوم تعيشه هو مناسبة خاصة. Search for knowledge, read more, sit on your front porch and admire the new without paying attention to your needs. ابحث عن المعرفة، واقرأ كثيرا، واجلس في شرفة منزلك الأمامية، واستمتع بالمنظر بدون ان تلتفت الى حاجاتك. Spend more time with your family and friends, eat your favorite foods, and visit the places you love. اقضي مزيدا من الوقت مع اسرتك وأصدقائك، وتناول الأطعمة التي تفضلها، وقم بزيارة الأماكن التي تحبها. Life is a chain of moment of enjoyment, not only about survival. الحياة سلسلة من اللحظات الممتعة، وليس مجرد البقاء على قيد الحياة. Use your crystal globets. Do not save your dest perfume, and use it every time you feel you want it. استخدم كوؤس الكريستال التي لديك. ولا توفر عطرك المفضل واستخدمه في كل وقت تشعر بالرغبة في استخدامه. Remove from your vocabulary phrases like one of these day and someday. Lets write that letter we thought of writing ?one of these days?. احذف من مفرداتك عبارات مثل: "في يوم من هذه الأيام" وكذلك "يوما ما". ولنكتب تلك الرسالة التي قكرنا في كتابتها "في يوم من الأيام". Let's tell our families and friends how much we love them. Do not delay anything that adds laughter and joy to your life. لنخبر اسرنا وأصدقاءنا عن مقدار حبنا لهم. ولا تؤجل أي شيء يبعث الضحك والسرور في حياتك. Every day, every hour, and every minute is Special. And you don?t know if it will be your last. ان كل يوم وكل ساعة و كل دقيقة هي شيء مميز، وانك لا تدري ان كانت أي منها ستكون الأخيرة في حياتك ================================ I got this Via mail and thought sharing it with you guys... Now tell me what do you really think of it? Is everything wrtten in here is right?

But... What Would You Do If You Had An Accident Like The One I Had?

I didn't specify africans...I am talking about everyone under poverty...In case ppl are not aware of it, many people in Lebanon don't have cars to speed with, they don't spend recklessly because they won't eat if they do, their wages didn't increase ever, they can't afford medicine....They have small houses that barely are enough to be called a bathroom.... now reread the text plz and see how few ppl it applies to... |
