THE PARADOX OF TIME -author unknown THE PARADOX OF 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 Bigger churches and smaller congregations A multitude of prayers, but very little faith A blessed life, but lack of gratitude A loving God for our blemished hearts WE HAVE 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 we have trouble crossing the street to meed A 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, and shallow relationships More leisure, but less fun More kinds of food, but less nutrition These are the days of two incomes, but more divorce Of fancier houses, but broken homes IT IS A TIME WHEN THERE IS MUCH IN THE SHOW WINDOW And nothing in the stock room A time when technology can bring this letter to you AND A TIME WHEN YOU CAN CHOOSE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE Or just hit delete........
