The Paradox of Our Time
1. The paradox of our time in history is that
we have taller building but shorter tempers, wider freeways, but narrower
viewpoints.
2. We spend more, but have less. We buy more,
but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less
time.
3. We have more degrees but less sense, more
knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine,
but less wellness.
4. We drink too much, smoke too much, spend
too recklessly, laugh to little, Drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too
late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too
seldom.
5. We have multiplied our possessions, but
reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.
6. We have learned how to make a living, but
not life. We have added years to life not life to years.
7. We have been all the way to the moon and back,
but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor.
8.We conquered outer space but not inner space. We have done larger things,
but not better things.
9.We have cleaned up the air, but polluted
the soul. We have conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but
learn less.
10.We plan more, but accomplish less. We have learned
to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than
ever, but we communicate less and less.
11. These are the times of fast foods and slow
digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow
relationships.
12.These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but
broken homes.
13.These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one
night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to
quiet, to kill.
14. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the
stockroom.
15. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you
can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete.
16. Remember; spend some time with your loved
ones, because they are not going to be around forever.
17.Remember, say a kind word to someone who
looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave
your side.
18.Remember, to give a warm hug to the one
next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and
it doesn’t cost a cent.
19.Remember, to say, “I love you” to your partner and your loved ones, but most
of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep
inside of you.
20.Remember to hold hands and cherish the
moment for someday that person will not be there again.
