The Paradox of Our Modern Age! see if you agree?

Question

We have taller buildings, but shortertempers; wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints; we spend more, but have less;we buy more, but enjoy it less.

We have bigger houses and smallerfamilies; more conveniences, but less time; we have more degrees, but lesscommon sense; more knowledge, but less judgement; more experts, but more problems;more medicine, but less wellness.

We spend too recklessly, laugh toolittle, drive too fast, get too angry too quickly, stay up too late, get up tootired, read too seldom, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, butreduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom and lie too often. We'velearned how to make a living, but not a life; we've added years to life, notlife to years.

We've been all the way to the moon andback, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbour.

We've conquered outer space, but notinner space; we've done larger things, but not better things; we've cleaned upthe air, but polluted the soul; we've split the atom, but

not our prejudice; we write more, but learn less; plan more, but accomplish less.



We've learned to rush, but not to wait;we have higher incomes; but lower morals; more food but less appeasement; moreacquaintances, but fewer friends; more effort but less success.

We build more computers to hold moreinformation, to produce more copies than ever, but have less communication;we've become long on quantity, but short on quality.

These are the time of fast foods andslow digestion; tall men and short character; steep profits, and shallowrelationships.

These are the times of world peace, butdomestic warfare; more leisure and less fun; more kinds of food, but lessnutrition.

These are days of two incomes, but moredivorce; of fancier houses, but broken homes.

These are days of quick trips,disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one-night stands, overweight bodies,and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time whenthere is much in the show window, and nothing in the stockroom.

sorry for spelling people.
