a little "indelible" note.....

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4

We have taller buildings, but shorter tempers,

Wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints.

We spend more but enjoy it less,

We have bigger houses, and smaller families.

More conveniences, yet less time.

We have more degress, but less sense,

More knowledge, yet more problems.

We have more gadgets, but less satisfaction.

More medicine, yet less wellness.

We take more vitamins, but see fewer results.

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 too tired,

Read too seldom, watch tv too much,

And take a deep breath too seldom…

We have multiplied our possesions, but reduced our values.

We fly in faster, planes arrive there quicker to do less and return sooner.

We sign in more contract only to realize fewer profits.

We talk too much, love too seldom, and lie to often.

We’ve learned how to make a living, not a life.

We’ve added years to life, not life to years.

We’ve been all the way to moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor.

We’ve conquered outer space, not inner space.

We’ve done larger thing, but not the better thing.

We’ve cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul.

We’ve split the atom, not our prejudice.

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

We make faster planes, but longer lines.

We learned to rush but not to wait.

We have more weapons, but less peace.

Higher incomes, but lower morals,

More parties, but less fun,

More food, but less appeasement,

More acquaintances, but fewer friends,

More efforts but less success.

We built more computers to hold more information,

To produce more copiers than ever,

But have less communication…

Drive smaller cars that have bigger problems.

Build large factories that produce less.

We’ve become long in quantity, short in quality.

Steep in profits, but shallow relationships.

There are times of world peace but domestic warfare.

More leissure and less fun,

Higher postage but slower mail,

More kinds of food, but less nutrition.

These are the days of two incomes, but more divorces.

There are quick trips, disposable diapers,

Catridge living, throwaway morality,

One night stands, overweight bodies and pills that do everything from cheer to prevent quiet or kill…

It’s time when there’s much in the show window, and nothing in the stock room…

the article left an indelible impression on my mind to think again, feel again the inner space in me…
