Paradox Of Our Times

Today we have bigger houses, but smaller families

More conveniences , but less time

We Have More degrees, but less common sense

More knowledge , but less judgment

We have more experts, but more problems

More medicine, but less wellness

We spend too recklessly

Laugh too little

Drive too fast

Get too angry too quickly

Stay up too late

Read too little

Watch TV too much

And ponder too little.

We’ve multiplied our possessions,

but reduce our values

We talk too much, love too little and lie too often

We’ve learned how to make a living, but not a life

We’ve added years to our lives, but not life to our years

We have taller buildings, but shorter tempers

Wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints

We spend more, but have less

We buy more, enjoy it less

We’ve been all the way to the moon and back

But have trouble crossing the street to meet our neighbors.

We’ve conquered outer space,

But not inner space

We’ve split the atom

But not our prejudice

We write more, learn less, ---------------------- plan more, but accomplish less

we’ve learned to rush, but not to wait,

we have higher incomes , but lower morals

We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies

But have less communication

We are long on quantity,

But short on quality

These are the time of fast foods and slow digestion

Taller people, and short character

More leisure and less fun ,,,,,more kinds of foods ,,,,, but less nutrition

Two incomes ,,,,,but more divorce

Fancier houses ,,,, but more broken homes

That’s why I propose , that as of today , you do not keep anything for special occasions, because every day you live is a special occasion.

Search for knowledge , read more , sit on your front porch and admire the view without paying attention to the time.

Spend more time with your family and friends , eat your favorite foods, and visit the places you love .

Use your crystal goblets…do not save your best perfume for best…throw a party for no good reason.

Life isn’t only about survival … It’s about joy.

Do not delay anything that adds laughter and joy to your life.

Remove from your vocabulary phrases like “ one of these days “ and “ someday”

Let’s write that letter we thought of writing “ one of these days “

Let’s tell our families and friends how much we love them.

If you’re too busy to take the time to send this message to someone you love , and you tell yourself you will send it “ one of these days “

You missed the point! believe me
