The Paradox Of Our Age
WE HAVE BIGGER HOUSES AND SMALLER FAMILIES
MORE CONVENIENCES, BUT LESS TIME;
WE HAVE DEGREES, BUT LESS SENSE;
MORE KNOWLEDGE, BUT LESS JUDGEMENT;
MORE EXPERTS, BUT MORE PROBLEMS,
MORE MEDICINE, BUT LESS HEALTHINESS.
WE'VE BEEN ALL THE WAY TO THE MOON AND BACK
BUT WE HAVE TROUBLE CROSSING THE STREET
TO MEET THE NEW NEIGHBOUR ;
WE HAVE BUILT MORE COMPUTERS
TO HOLD MORE INFORMATION,
TO PRODUCE MORE COPIES THAN EVER,
BUT HAVE LESS COMMUNICATION.
WE'VE BECOME LONG ON QUANTITY, BUT SHORT ON QUALITY
THESE ARE THE TIMES OF FAST FOODS AND SLOW DIGESTION;
TALL MEN AND SHORT CHARACTER;
STEEP PROFITS AND SHALLOW RELATIONSHIPS.
IT IS TIME WHEN THERE IS MUCH IN THE WINDOW
AND NOTHING IN THE STOREROOM
THE DALAI LAMA
