The Paradox of our Time in history
We can list the Paradox of our Time in history as follows:
* We have taller buildings, but shorter patience.
* We have wider highways, but narrower perspectives.
* We spend more, but have less.
* We buy more, but enjoy less.
* We have bigger homes, but smaller families.
* We have more household supplies, but less time.
* We have more education, but less common sense.
* We have more knowledge, but less wisdom.
* We have more experts, but still more problems.
* We have more medicine, but less health.
* We drink too much alcohol and cigarettes, spend too much money, laugh too little, drive too fast, get angry too quickly, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch too much TV, and rarely give thanks.
* We have increased our assets, but reduced our values.
* We talk too much, love too little, and hate too often.
* We have learned to make a living, but we have not learned to make a living.
* We have added years to our lives, but we have not added life to years.
* We've learned to commute to the moon, but have trouble crossing the street to meet our new neighbor.
* We conquered outer space, but not our inner world.
* We've done bigger things, but not better ones.
* We cleaned the air, but we polluted our soul.
* We dominated the atom, but we couldn't control our prejudices.
* We write more, but learn less.
* The more we plan, the less we arrive at conclusions.
* Today is the day of two salaries but more divorces, more fancy houses but scattered homes.
* These are the days of fast travel, disposable diapers, morals destroyed, one-night stands, obese bodies, and pills that can do everything from cheering to calming or even killing.
* We are in a time where everything is on display in shop windows but nothing in warehouses.
* There will be a time when technology can bring you this letter, and you can choose to either share this insider or press the delete button.
“Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the number of moments that take our breath away."
