Wow.

Heard this statement today. And it hit me hard.Things to ponder on..

The paradox of our age:

We have taller buildings but shorter tempers
We buy more but enjoy less
We have more experts but more problems
We read too seldom and watch too much TV
We have added years to life but not life to years
We have done larger things but not better thing
We have cleaned the air but polluted our soul
We have higher incomes but lower morals
We have more acquaintances but fewer friends
Wider freeways but narrower viewpoints
More conveniences but less time
More medicine but less wellness
Bigger houses and smaller families
We multiply our possessions but reduce our values
We have been to the moon and back but can't cross the street to meet our neighbor
We have learned to rush but not to wait
We talk too much, love too seldom and lie all too often
More effort but less success
These are the days of more leisure but less fun
These are the days of two incomes but more divorces. Of fancier houses but broken homes.

Today there is so much on display in the showroom window of life but so little in the stockroom

I miss the days of playing in the street, making forts and using your imagination. This next generation of kids has so much information at their fingertips. We have made some great advances in technology but at what cost?
