"The paradox of our time in history is that we haveThought Of The Day
We have
bigger houses, but 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 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, but not life to years.
We've
been all the way to the moon and back,
but've
trouble crossing the street to meet the 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.
These
are the times of world peace, but domestic warfare;
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 broken homes.
It is
time when there is much in the showroom
window,
and nothing in the stockroom;
a time
when technology can bring this letter to you,
and time
when you can choose either to make a
difference..
or just leave it."
