A friend sent me this:


Paradox of Time.....author unknown
----- THE PARADOX OF TIME IN HISTORY IT THAT WE:
Have taller buildings, but shorter tempers
Wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints
We spend more, but have less
We buy more, but enjoy less

WE HAVE MORE CONVENIENCES, BUT LESS TIME
More knowledge, but less judgement
More experts, but more problems
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 we have trouble crossing the street to meet a 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
More leisure, but less fun
More kinds of food, but less nutrition
These are the days of two incomes, but more divorce
Of fancier houses, but more broken homes.

IT IS A TIME WHEN THERE IS MUCH IN THE SHOW WINDOW
And nothing in the stock room
A time when technology can bring this letter to you

AND A TIME WHEN YOU CAN CHOOSE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE..
