The paradox of our time in history is that
we have taller building, but shorter tempers;
wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints.

We spend more, but less;
We buy more, but enjoy it less.

We have bigger houses and smaller families
More convenciences, but less time.

We have more degrees, but less sense;
more knowledge, but less judgement;
more experts, but more problems;
more medicine, but less wellnes.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly,
Laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry too quikly.

Stay up too late, get up to tired,
read too seldom, watch TV too much,
and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values.

We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We’ve learnd how to make a living, but not a life;

We’ve added years to life, not life to years.

We’ve been all the way to the moon and back,
but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor.
