"نحن ذو أهمية ذاتية كبيرة. الكل يقوم بإنقاذ شيء ما الآن. إنقاذ الأشجار إنقاذ النحل إنقاذ الحيتان إنقاذ القواقع. وأكبر غطرسة على الإطلاق: إنقاذ الكوكب. إنقاذ الكوكب؟ نحن حتى لا نعرف كيفية الاهتمام بأنفسنا بعد. سنقوم بإنقاذ الكوكب اللعين؟"
— George Carlin
Simplified Meaning:
This quote highlights how people often feel extremely important and believe they need to save everything, like trees, bees, and even the entire planet. However, it points out that humans sometimes struggle to manage their own lives properly. For example, someone might campaign to save endangered species but might not even recycle their trash or take care of their own health. The quote emphasizes the idea that before we tackle huge projects like saving the planet, we should focus on improving our own daily habits and wellbeing. Just like you can't help a friend if you are not in a good state yourself, we need to learn how to take care of our own needs first. This suggestion urges people to start taking small, personal steps to improve their own situations and then gradually expand their efforts to larger causes. In this way, making positive changes in one's own life can lead to bigger changes in the world.
