The paradox of our time in history is that 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 conveniences, but less time; We have more degrees, but less
sense; more knowledge, but less judgment;more experts, but less solutions;
more medicine, but less wellness. We have multiplied our possessions, but
reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.
We've learned 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 the new neighbor. We've conquered
outer space, but not inner space; we've cleaned up the air, but polluted the
soul; we've split the atom, but not our prejudice. We have higher incomes,
but lower morals; we've become long on quantity,but short on quality. These
are the times of tall men, and short character; steep profits, and shallow
relationships. These are the times of world peace, but domestic warfare;
more leisure, but less fun; more kinds of food, but less nutrition. These
are days of two incomes, but more divorce; of fancier houses, but broken
homes. It is a time when there is much in the show window and nothing in the
stockroom; a time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time
when you can choose either to forward this message and make a difference...
