        Paradox of Our Times

  

  

   

      <p> 

      <p>We have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, but less time; we have more degrees, but less common sense; more knowledge, but less judgement; more

      experts, but more problems; m&gt;re medicine, but less wellness.</p>

      <p>We spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get to angry too quickly, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch 'IV too often, and pray too

      seldom.</p>

      <p>We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced 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 life, not life to years.</p>

      <p>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.</p>

      <p>We've been all the way 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 split

      the atom, but not our prejudice; we write more, but learn less; plan more, but accomplish less.</p>

      <p>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.</p>

      <p>These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion; tall men and short character; steep profits and shallow relationships. More leisure and less fun; more kinds of food,

      but less nutrition; two incomes, but more divorce; fancier houses, but broken homes.</p>

      <p> </p>
