The paradox of our times is that we have taller buildings, but shorter tempers; wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We buy more, enjoy it less.
We have bigger houses & smaller families; more conveniences, but less time; we have more advanced degrees, but less common sense; more knowledge, but less good judgement; MORE MEDICINE, but less wellness.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We have higher incomes, but lower morals.
We have been all the way to the moon & back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbour. We've conquered outer space, but inner space is still a mystery to many of us.
We have cleaned up the air, but polluted our soul; split the atom, but not our prejudices. We talk too much, love too seldom & hate too often.
These are times of steep profits & shallow relationships; world peace, but domestic warfare; more leisure, less fun; two incomes, more divorce.
It is a time when there is much in the show window & nothing in the stockroom; a time when technology can bring you a letter in seconds, & YOU CAN CHOOSE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE OR JUST HIT "DELETE"...
