"It is obvious to most of us that when we buy a car, even if it is the best car in the world, we still need to take care of it and do several things to maintain it. At the same time, for some mysterious reason, it is often not so self-evident that we should care for our relationships in the same way as this car. Any individual with sound judgment values a deep human connection more than a car, yet we have to face how much more attention people pay to taking care of their "things" than to nurturing their relationships.

It is obvious to most of us that when we buy a car, even if it is the best car in the world, we still need to take care of it and do several things to maintain it. At the same time, for some mysterious reason, it is often not so self-evident that we should care for our relationships in the same way as this car. Any individual with sound judgment values a deep human connection more than a car, yet we have to face how much more attention people pay to taking care of their "things" than to nurturing their relationships.
""A legtöbbünk számára evidens, hogy ha veszünk egy autót, legyen az bár a világ legjobb kocsija, akkor is ápolnunk kell, és több dolgot is tennünk kell, hogy karbantartsuk. Ugyanakkor valamilyen rejtélyes oknál fogva, az már gyakran nem ennyire magától értetődő, hogy kapcsolatainkat ugyanúgy ápolnunk kell, mint ezt az autót. Minden józan ítélőképességgel rendelkező egyén értékesebbnek tart egy mély emberi kapcsolatot egy autónál, mégis azzal kell szembesülnünk, hogy mennyivel több figyelmet fordítanak az emberek a "dolgaikkal" való törődésre, mint a kapcsolataik ápolására."
