The Paradox of our Time....

The paradox of our time in history is that
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.
We have bigger houses and smaller families;more conveniences,but less time;
We have more degrees,but less sense;more knowledge, but less judgement
more experts,but more problems,more medicine,but less wellness.
We drink too much,smoke too much,spend too recklessly,laugh too little,
drive too fast,get angry too quickly,stay up to late,get up too tired,
read too seldom,watch too much TV,and prey too seldom.
We have multiplied our possessions,but reduced our values.
We talk too much,love too seldom and hate too often.
We've learned how to make a living,but not a life.
We've added years to life, but not life to years.
We've been all the way to the moon and back,
but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor.
We've conquered outer space, but not inner space.
We've done larger things,but not better things.
We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul.
We've split the atom,but not our prejudice.
We've learned to rush,but not to wait. Plan more,but accomplish less.
write more,but learn less.
we biuld more computers to hold more info,toproduce more copies than ever,
but have less communication.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion;
tall men,and shorter character;steep profits,and shallow relationships
more leisure,but less fun,more kinds of food, but less nutrition.
These are the days of 2 incomes,but more divorce,
bigger houses but broken homes.
quick trips,disposable diapers,and throw away morality,
one night stands and pills that do everything.
It is a time when there is much show in the window,but nothing in the stock room
a time when technology can bring you this and a time
when you can decide to share this or just hit delete.

I did not know that and for that I aplogize
That's a funny typo
I don't agree with all of it, but all in all it's not too bad. I guess I don't think our time is better or worse than any other, thats all.
