1
When love is working, we want it to last, of course, forever.
2
It isn't enough that it should have been nice today and that we've got some plans for tomorrow.
3
We beg the lover to promise that they're going to be with us until the end.
4
A dog can be happy in the present moment.
5
We aren't satisfied until we've secured the next half century.
6
We can read this same demented longing for permanence in the histories of whole nations and peoples.
7
It's why we build arches, consecrate temples, write treaties in gold, put up statues to generals, saying to ourselves in the future,
8
in effect, we want to and will be always loyal till the final hour of the final day.
9
The difficulty in all this is that we're largely made of water.
10
Most bits of us at a cellular level weren't here five years ago and won't be here in another five.
11
Everything is in motion.
12
The planet is rotating at 67 ,000 miles an hour around a sun
13
that's going to go dark in five billion short years from now.
14
And still, we decide to get married.
15
The surest prediction any of us can make about ourselves is that we're going to forget.
16
We've forgotten the famous generals.
17
We no longer remember the old songs.
18
The ancient gods mean nothing to us anymore.
19
When we were 11, we said we were going to love
20
Bobby until the end of time.
21
Then we changed class and hung out mostly with Jen, who was later replaced with Ahmed, none of whom we've seen in two decades.
22
The countries that plan to be allies for the next millennium have, despite the triumphal arch, taken up arms again.
23
The old temples are being converted into flats.
24
Our bodies give us no more guarantees than our emotion.
25
An aneurysm might get us tomorrow.
26
We can be felled by a coin dropped from a second floor.
27
We can be safe by recognising that there is no safety.
28
We should at all times keep a small bag packed at the back of a cupboard.
29
The good news is that despite our feeling of fragility, though we might now use baby language with our new partner,
30
we aren't in fact small, helpless children.
31
We'd survive if it ended, we're canny, we've lost everything before, and can do so again if the next relationship collapses.
32
All of which frees us to do our best to savour the rest of today with our new friend,
33
aware that nothing has been promised to us for even the first part of tomorrow.
34
And that's absolutely fine.

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?
שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
