“على النادر ألا يحد من قيمة المعتاد.
تكمن المفارقة الطريفة في الإدراك البشري في هذا التركيز المفرط على الأشياء النادرة، وهو ما يمنحها تميزها وتفردها، بينما يُهمل ويُقلل من شأن كل ما هو ثابت وعادي، وكأنه أمرٌ مُسلّم به. مع ذلك، فإن هذا "العادي" هو في الواقع أحد أكثر جوانب وجودنا موثوقيةً وأهميةً، كالتنفس، ونبضات القلب، وشروق الشمس.
جيني حسين علي
The rare should not diminish the value of the ordinary...
The curious paradox of human perception is this exaggerated focus on rare things, which is what gives them their distinction and uniqueness, while neglecting and belittling everything that is constant and ordinary, as if it were a given. Yet, this "ordinary" is actually one of the most reliable and essential aspects of our existence, like breathing, heartbeats, and sunrise.
