"كلما تقدم البشر كلما انحطوا"
— Gustave Flaubert
Simplified Meaning:
As people invent new things and make progress, sometimes they also create new problems. Think about how technology has made life easier with things like smartphones and computers. We can talk to friends far away, find information quickly, and work from home. But this same technology also means we spend less time outside and talking face-to-face. It can be bad for our health because we sit a lot, and it can make us feel lonely even though we are always connected. Another example is cars. They have made it so much faster to travel and transport goods. However, they cause pollution and accidents. So, while we move forward and make life better in some ways, we may hurt ourselves in other ways. The quote is a reminder to think carefully about how progress affects us and to try to balance the good and the bad.
