Sundries: 즐겨야 이긴다

Sundries: 즐겨야 이긴다

자연이 그렇듯 우리도 균형을 유지해야 한다. 우리에게는 성장할 시간과 상처가 아물 시간이 필요하다. 세상의 모든 생물이 그러하듯 우리도 휴식을 취하며 회복할 시간이 필요하다. 휴식을 생활양식의 한 부분으로 받아들이면, 흙처럼 휴식 뒤에 더욱 비옥해질 것이다.

- 앤드류매튜스 저 '즐겨야 이긴다' 중에서...

폭염이 지속되고 있습니다. 적당한 휴식시간 챙기세요~~


'Sundries: 즐겨야 이긴다'에서 옮긴 글입니다.

위대한 글, 아름다운 글

위대한 글, 아름다운 글

해와 달과 별들은 하늘의 글이요, 산천과 초목은 땅의 글이요, 시서와 예악은 사람의 글이다.

- 정도전 -

하늘의 글은 정말 대단하고 땅의 글은 정말 아름답습니다. 어찌 우주와 자연의 순리와 조화를 따라가겠습니까. 사람의 글이 아무리 위대한들 하늘과 땅의 글을 따라가겠습니까.

그러나 서로를 우러르며 살기에 서로를 아우르며 살기에 우주와 자연에서 비롯된 사람의 글 또한 대단하고 아름다운 것입니다.

사랑이 아닌 이해

사랑이 아닌 이해

상대를 당신처럼 만들려고 하지 말라. 상대에게 사랑을 줄 수 있을 뿐, 생각까지 줄 수는 없다. 사람들이 원하는 것은 사랑이 아니라 이해일지도 모른다.

[Humor] Camel and Time


There was a tour bus in Egypt that stopped in the middle of a town square. The tourists are all shopping at the little stands surrounding the square.

One tourist looks at his watch, but it is broken, so he leans over to a local who is squatted down next to his camel. "What time is it, sir?"

The local reaches out and softly cups the camel's genitals in his hand, and raises them up and down. "It's about 2:00", he says. The tourist can't believe what he just saw.

He runs back to the bus, and sure enough, it is 2:00. He tells a few of the fellow tourists his story, "The man can tell the time by the weight of the camel's genitals!"

One of the doubting tourists walks back to the local and asks him the time, the same thing happens!! It is 2:05.p.m.

He runs back to tell the story. Finally, the bus driver wants to know how it is done. He walks over and asks the local how he knows the time from the camel's genitals.

The local says "Sit down here and grab the camel's genitals, Now, lift them up in the air. Now, look underneath them to the other side of the courtyard, where that clock is hanging on the wall."

이집트에서 관광버스 한대가 마을 광장 한 가운데에 정차해 있었다. 관광객들은 모두 광장 주위에 둘러선 작은 판매대에서 물건들을 쇼핑하고 있었다.

한 관광객이 자기의 시계를 바라봤다, 그러나 그 시계가 고장나 있었다, 그래서 그는 낙타 옆에 쪼그리고 앉아있던 한 현지인에게 몸을 굽히고 물었다, "몇시죠?"

그 현지인은 손을 뻗어 낙타의 성기를 가볍게 쥐고는 들어올렸다가 내려놓았다."2시쯤 되었네요," 하고 그가 말했다. 그 관광객은 자기가 목격한걸 믿을 수가 없었다.

그는 버스로 돌아왔다, 아니나 다를까, 시간은 2시였다. 그는 관광객 몇명에게 자기가 겪었던 일을 이야기했다, "그 남자는 낙타의 성기 무게로 시간을 알 수 있더라구요!"

의심이 든 한 관광객이 그 현지인에게 되돌아 가서 몇시냐고 물었다, 같은 일이 일어났다! 오후 2시 5분이었다.

그는 되돌아 와 그 이야기를 했다. 드디어 버스 운전사가 무슨 일이 있었는지 알고 싶었다. 운전사는 그 현지인에게 가서 낙타의 성기로 어떻게 시간을 알 수 있었느냐고 물었다.

그 현지인이 말했다, "여기 앉아 낙타의 성기를 잡아보세요, 그리고 그 성기를 들어 올리세요, 그리고 그 아래로 광장 저 쪽을 바라보면 벽에 시계가 걸려 있는게 보이죠."
