英国女王伊丽莎白二世在一年一度的圣诞节讲话中强调反思的重要性。女王表示在人生混乱的时候,有必要在发生大事的时候“停下来想一想”。同时,还公开了英国女王与三位皇位直接继承人的合影。
I once knew someone who spent a year in a plaster cast recovering from an operation on his back. He read a lot and thought a lot and felt miserable。
Later he realized this time of forced retreat from the world had helped him to understand the world more clearly。
We all need to get the balance right, between action and reflection. With so many distractions, it is easy to forget to pause and take stock。
Be it through contemplation, prayer or even keeping a diary, many have found the practice of quiet personal reflection surprisingly rewarding, even discovering greater spiritual depth to their lives。
Reflection can take many forms. When families and friends come together at Christmas, it's often a time for happy memories and reminiscing. Our thoughts are with those we have loved who are no longer with us. We also remember those who through doing their duty cannot be at home for Christmas, such as workers in essential or emergency services。
And especially at this time of year, we think of the men and women serving overseas in our armed forces. We are forever grateful to all those who put themselves at risk to keep us safe。
