We have
Tuesday, February 27, 2007, 8:44 PM
We have
taller buildings but shorter tempers
wider freeways but narrower viewpoints.
We have
spend more but have less,
we buy more but enjoy less.
We have
bigger houses but smaller families,
more conveniences but less time.
We have
more degrees but less sense,
more knowledge but less judgment.
We have
more experts but more problems,
more medicine but less wellness.
We have
drink too much,smoke too much,
spend too recklessly,laugh too little.
We have
drive too fast, get too angry,
stay up too late, get up too tired.
We have
watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.
watch TV too much, and talk less.
We have
multiplied our possessions but reduced our values.
love too seldom, and hate too often.
We have
learned how to make a living but not a life.
added years to life not life to years.
We have
been all the way to the moon and back,
but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor.
We have
conquered outer space but not inner space.
done larger things but not better things.
We have
cleaned up the air but polluted the soul.
conquered the atom but not our prejudice.
We have
write more but learn less.
plan more but accomplish less.
We have
learned to rush but not to wait.
build more computers to hold more information,
but we communicate less and less.
HERE ARE THE TIMES OF:
Fast foods and slow digestion.
Big men and small character.
Steep profits and shallow relationships.
Two incomes but more divorce.
Fancier houses, but broken homes.
Much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom.
Quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill.
