Paradoxes Of Our Times.
Today we have bigger houses and smaller families
More conveniences, but less time
We have more degrees, but less common sense
More knowledge, less judgement
We have more experts, but more problems
More medicine, but less wellness
We spent too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast,
Get angry too quickly, stay up too late, read too little
Watch TV so much, and pray so seldom
We've multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values
We talk too much, love too little, and lies too often
We've learned how to make a living, but not to a life
We've added years to life, but not life to years
We have taller building, but shorter tempers
Wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints
We spend more but we have less
We buy more and enjoy it less
We've been all the way to the moon and back but we have trouble crossing the street to meet our neighbours
We've conquered the outer space, but not the inner space
We've split the atom, but not our prejudice
We write more, learn less; plan more but accomplish less
We've learned to rush but not to wait
We have higher incomes, but less morals
We build computers to hold more informations, but we have less communications
We are long on quantity but short on quality
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion
Tall men and short characters
More leisure but less fun
More kind of food but less nutrition
Two incomes but more divorces
Fancier houses, but broken homes
I propose, that as of today, you don't keep anything for a special occasions because everyday your life is a special occasion
Search for knowledge, read more
Sit on your front porch and admire the view without paying attention to your needs
Spend more time with your family and friends
Eat your favourite foods and visit the places you love
Life is a chain of movement of enjoyment, not only about survival
Remove from your vocabulary phrases like "one of these days" and "someday"
Write the letter you have thought about writing
Tell your family and friends how much you love them
Don't delay anything that adds laughter and joy to your life
Weveryday, every hour, and everyminute is special
You don't know if it will be your last.
So, did it touch you in any way?
