Sharing

yuns2008

So cold here.   Let me post an essay for sharing, hoping someone will enjoy it.<BR>------------------About Life------------------<BR>
<P>??Today we have higher buildings and wider highways, but shorter temperaments and narrower points of view. We spend more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses, but smaller families. We have more compromises, but less time. We have more knowledge, but less judgement. We have more medicines, but less health. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk much, we love only a little, and we hate too much. We reached the Moon and came back, but we find it troublesome to cross our own street and meet our neighbors. We have conquered the outer space, but not our inner space. We have higher income, but less morals. These are times with more liberty, but less joy. We have much more food, but less nutrition. These are the days in which it takes two salaries for each home, but divorces increase. These are times of finer houses, but more broken homes. <BR>　　That’s why 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. Search for knowledge, read more, sit on your front porch and admire the view without paying attention to your needs. Spend more time with your family and friends, eat your favorite foods, visit the places you love. Life is a chain of moments of enjoyment; not only about survival. Use your crystal goblets. Do not save your best perfume, and use it every time you feel you want it. Remove from your vocabulary phrases like “one of these days” and “someday”. Let’s write that letter we thought of writing “one of these days”. Let’s tell our families and friends how much we love them. Do not delay anything that adds laughter and joy to your life. Every day, every hour, and every minute is special. And you don’t know if it will be your last.<p></p></P>
<P>　　 今天我们拥有了更高层的楼宇以及更宽阔的高速公路，但是我们的性情却更为急躁，眼光也更加狭隘；我们消耗极多，享受到的却很少；我们住的房屋大了，但我们的家庭成员却越来越少了；我们有了更多的妥协余地，可时间却少了；我们拥有了更多的知识，但我们的判断力却差了；我们有了更多的药品，可我们的健康状况却不尽如人意；我们拥有的财富倍增，但其价值却减少了；我们谈论得很多，但我们所爱的却很少，我们的仇恨也更多了；我们可以往返月球，但却很难迈出一步去亲近我们的左亲右邻；我们可以征服太空，却征服不了我们的内心；我们的收入增加了，但我们的道德却少了；我们的时代更加之自由了，而我们拥有的快乐时光却越来越少了；我们有了更多的食品供应，但我们所能得到的营养却越来越少了；现在每个家庭都可以有双份的收入，但离婚的现象却越来越多了；我们可以有越来越精致的住房，但同时我们也有了更多破碎的家庭。<BR>　　 这就是我为什么要说，让我们从今天开始，不要将你的东西为了某一个特别的时刻而预留着，因为你生活的每一天都是那么特别。坐在你家的房屋前廊，多读一些书，去寻找更多的知识，以赞美的眼光去享受你眼前的风景，不要带有任何功利的想法。花多点时间与你的家人及朋友在一起，吃你想吃的食物，去你爱去的地方。生活就是由一连串快乐时光组成的时光链，我们不仅仅是为了生存而生存。举起你珍藏的水晶高脚杯吧，不要吝啬洒上你最好的香水，任何时候你想用就享用吧! 从你的词汇库中移去那些所谓的“有那么一天”或者是“某一天”。你曾打算有那么一天要写的信，请今天就写吧！请告诉我们的家人和朋友，我们是多么得爱他们。不要延迟任何可以给你生活带来欢笑和快乐的事情。每一天、每一小时、每一分钟都是那么特别，因为你不知道这是否是最后一刻。</P>
