Sharing a message by George Carlin (the comedian of 70's-80's). It is so true and very eloquent in response to current situation.hope you guys could see and understand like what i do feel now..
"The paradox of our time in history is that we have tallerbuildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways , but narrower viewpoints. Wespend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger housesand smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degreesbut less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet moreproblems, 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 tootired, 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'veadded years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon andback, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbour. Weconquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but notbetter things.
We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We'veconquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. Weplan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. Webuild more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies thanever, but we communicate less and less.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, bigmen and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are thedays of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. Theseare days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one nightstands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet,to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing inthe stockroom.A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share it or to just hit delete..
