The paradox of our Time! (Community)

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 more problems.More medicine* but less wellness.We drink too much* smoke too much* spend too recklessly*laugh too little* drive too fast* get too angry too quickly*stay up too late* get up too tired* read too little*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 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 done larger things* but not better things.We?ve cleaned up the air* but polluted the soul. We?ve split the atom* but not our prejudice. We write more* but learn less; We plan more* but accomplish less;We?ve learned to rush* but not to wait; We have higher incomes* but lower morals; We have more food* but less appeasement;We build more computers to hold more information to produce more copies than ever* but have less communication. We?ve become long on quantity* but short on quality.These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion; 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.These are days of quick trips* disposable diapers* throw away morality* one-night stands* overweight bodies* and pills that do everything from cheer* to quiet* to kill.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 make a difference* or to just hit delete......
