"فکر میکنم ما نابینا هستیم. آدمهای نابینایی که میتوانند ببینند، اما نمیبینند"
— Jose Saramago
Simplified Meaning:
This quote is saying that sometimes people have the ability to notice important things around them, but they choose not to pay attention. Imagine you're walking through your neighborhood every day, but you never really look at the houses or say hello to your neighbors. You're physically able to see them, but you don’t really notice them or understand their importance in your community. It's like when people ignore problems around them, like someone being bullied, poverty, or climate change. They can see it happening, but they don’t act on it or even acknowledge it. By ignoring these issues, they act as if they are blind to them. In our daily lives, it’s helpful to be more aware and present. For example, if someone at work seems sad or stressed, noticing and offering help can make a big difference. Being truly aware of your surroundings and the people in it can lead to a more connected and meaningful life.
