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, throwaway
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 showroom 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 is
the 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.
Give time to
love, give time to speak! And give time to share
the precious thoughts in your mind.
AND
ALWAYS REMEMBER:
Life is not measured by
the number of breaths we take, but by the
moments that take our breath
away.
