The paradox of our time in history is that: We have more to spend - but have less; We buy more gadgets - but enjoy them less; We have more leisure - but less fun; We have more conveniences - but less time for each other; We have more labor saving devices - but work longer hours; We've added years to our life - but not life to our years; We've conquered outer space - but not inner space; We have more food - but less nutrition; We've become long on quantity - but short on quality; We make steep profits - and shallow relationships; We have more comfortable cars - but more road rage; We have bigger houses - but smaller families; We have fancier houses - but broken homes; We have more access to information - but narrower viewpoints; We have more academic degrees - but less common sense; We've split the atom - but not our prejudice; We have more experts - but more problems; We have better medicine - but less wellness; We learn how to make a living - but not a life; Home / Of General Interest |
