The paradox of our 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 less. 

We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, 
but  less  time; we have more degrees, but less sense; more  
knowledge, but  less  judgment; more experts, yet more problems,  
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 too 
tired, 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've added 
years to life, not life to years. 
  
We've been all the way to the moon and back. but have 
trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. 

We conquered outer space but not inner space. 

We've done larger things, but not better things. 

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

 We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. 

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

We've learned to rush, but not to wait. 

We build more computers to hold more information to produce  
more copies  than ever, but we communicate less and less. 

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion; big men  
and small character; steep profits and shallow relationships. 

These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier 
houses but broken homes. 

These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throw-away 
morality, one-night stands, 

overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer to  
quiet, to kill. 

It is a time when there is much in the show window and nothing in 
the stockroom. 
  
A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time 
when you  can  choose either to share this insight, or to just hit 
delete. 

Remember, spend some time with your loved ones, because they 
are not going to be around forever. 

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in 
awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your 
side. 

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because 
that isthe  only  treasure you can give with your heart and it 
doesn't cost a cent. 

Remember, to say "I Love you" to your partner and your loved 
ones, but most of all mean it. 

A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep 
inside of you. 

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday  
that person will not be there again.
