I ran across this the other day, a lot of wisdom…I truly hope you get something out of this.

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 have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values; We talk to much, love to 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 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 tried to clean up the air, but continue to pollute 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 low on quality. These are the times of tall men, and short character; steep profits, and shallow relationships. These are the times of seeking world peace, and not domestic peace; 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 a time when there is much in the show window, but nothing in the stockroom; a time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose to make a difference…or just hit delete.
