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
judgment; more experts, but more problems; more medicine, but less 
wellness.

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 the 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 write more, but learn less; We plan more, but
accomplish  less.

We've learned to rush, but not to wait; We have higher incomes, but
lower  morals; We have more food, but less appeasement; We build more
computers  to hold more information to produce more copies than ever,
but have less  communication; We've become long on quantity, but short
on quality.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion; tall men, and
short  character; steep profits, shallow relationships,and fancier
houses, but  broken homes.

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 make a difference, or to just
hit delete...
