Looks Like George Has Got it Right !

The Paradox of our Time by George Carlin
 
 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 less
 
 We have bigger houses and smaller families,
 more conveniences, but less time;
 we have more degrees, but less sense;
 more knowledge, but less judgment;
 more experts, yet more problems,
 more medicine, but less wellness.
 
 We drink too much, smoke too much,
 spend too recklessly,
 laugh too little,
 drive too fast,
 get too angry,
 stay up too late, get up too tired,
 read too little, watch TV too much, and pray 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 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 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 conquered the atom, but not our prejudice.
 We write more, but learn less.
 We plan more, but accomplish less.
 We've learned to rush, but not to wait.
 
 We build more computers to hold more information
 to
 produce more copies than ever, but we communicate
 less and less.
 
 These are the times of fast foods and slow
 digestion;
 big men and small character;
 steep profits and shallow relationships.

 These are the days of two incomes but more
 divorce,
 fancier houses but broken homes.
 
 These are days of quick trips, disposable
 diapers,
 throw-away morality, one-night stands,
 overweight bodies, and pills that do everything
 from cheer to quiet, to kill.
 
 It is a time when there is much in the show
 window and
 nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology
 can bring this letter to you, and a time when you
 can choose either to
 share this insight, or to just hit delete.
 
 
 Remember, spend some time with your loved ones,
 because they are not going to be around forever.
 
 Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up
 to you in awe, because that little person soon
 will grow up and leave your side.
 
 Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to
 you,
 because that is the only treasure you can give with
 your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

 Remember, to say "I Love you" to your partner and
 your loved ones, but most of all mean it.
 A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it
 comes
 from deep inside of you.
 
 Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for
 some day that person will not be there again.
 
 Give time to Love, give time to speak, give time
 to
 share the precious thoughts in your mind.
 Vote Libertarian" Liberty&freedom will follow"
