Paradoxes Of Our Times

We have taller buildings, but shorter tempers, wider free-ways but narrower viewpoint, we spend more but have less, we buy more but enjoy less.

We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences but less time, more knowledge but less judgment, more medicines but less health.

We have multiplied our possessions but reduced our values. We talk too much but love seldom and hate often.

We have learned how to make a living but not life: we have added years to life and not life to years. We go across all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble in crossing the street to meet the new neighbour.

We have conquered outer space but not inner space, we have cleaned up the air but polluted the soul, and we have split the atom but not our prejudice. We have high incomes but low morals. These are the times of tall men and short character, steep profits and shallow relationships. Theses are the times of world peace but domestic warfare.

More leisure but less fun, more kinds of food but less nutrition. These are the times of two incomes but more divorces, of fancier houses but broken homes. It is the time when there is much in the show room but less in the stock room, after reading this one can just be lame like everybody else, or make a difference!
