come to think of it.

THE PARADOX OF OUR AGE.

We have taller buildings, but shorter tempers;

Wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints;

We spend more, but have less;

We buy more, but enjoy it less.
We have bigger houses, and smaller families;

More convenience, but less time;

We have more degrees, but less common sense;

More knowledge, but less judgement;

More experts, but more problems;

More medicine, but less wellness.
We spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast,

Get too angry too quickly,

stay up too late, get too 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 lie too often.

We learned how to make a living, but not a life;

We’ve added years to our life, not life to our years.
We’ve been all the way to the moon and back,But have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor.
We’ve conquered outer space, but not inner space;

We’ve done larger things, but not better things;

We’ve cleaned the air, but polluted the soul;

We’ve split the atom, but not our prejudice;

We write more, but learn less;

Plan more, but accomplish less.
We’ve learned to rush, but not to wait;

We have higher income, but lower morals;

More food, but less appeasement;

More acquaintance, but fewer friends;

More efforts, but less success.
We build more computers to hold more information,

To produce more copies than ever, but have less communication;

We’ve become too long on quantity, but short on quality.
These are the times of world peace, but domestic warfare;

More leisure and less fun;More kinds of food, but less nutrition.
These are the times of world peace, but domestic warfare;

More leisure and less fun;

More kinds of food, but less nutrition.
These are days of two incomes, but more divorce;

Of fancier house, but broken homes.
These are the days of quick trips, disposable diapers,

Throwaway morality, one-night stands, overweight bodies,

And pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill.
It is a time when there is too much in the show windowAnd nothing in the stock room.
Think about it... and read it again.
