Guest guest Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 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 thestreet to meet the new neighbor. We've conquered outer space, but not inner space; We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul; We've split the atom, but not our prejudice; We have higher incomes, but lower morals; We've become long on quantity, but short on quality. These are the times of tall men, and short character; steep profits, andshallow relationships. These are the times of world peace, but domesticwarfare; more leisure, but less fun; more kinds of food, but less nutrition. These are days of two incomes, but more divorce; of fancier houses, butbroken homes. It is a time when there is much in the show window and nothing in thestockroom; a time when technology can bring this letter to you, in a timewhen you can choose either to make a difference, or to just hit Shift andDelete..-Author Unknown Best Regards,K.s.Vishwanathan.Tel No: 022-28738192 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
