"This may seem like a contradiction, but I have known many people who were no longer alive, but still worked, ate and went about their social duties in the same way as before. They did everything automatically, without noticing the magical moment that each day holds, without once stopping to think for a second about the wonder of life, without understanding that the next minute might be the last spend on this planet.

This may seem like a contradiction, but I have known many people who were no longer alive, but still worked, ate and went about their social duties in the same way as before. They did everything automatically, without noticing the magical moment that each day holds, without once stopping to think for a second about the wonder of life, without understanding that the next minute might be the last spend on this planet.
""Ez ellentmondásnak tűnhet, de sok embert ismertem, akik már nem éltek, pedig még dolgoztak, ettek, és ugyanúgy végezték társadalmi teendőiket, mint azelőtt. Mindent automatikusan csináltak, anélkül, hogy észrevették volna a mágikus pillanatot, amit minden nap magában hordoz, anélkül, hogy egyszer is megálltak volna, hogy egy másodpercig az élet csodájára gondoljanak, anélkül, hogy megértették volna, hogy a következő perc talán az utolsó, amit ezen a bolygón töltenek."
