Paradox of our age. Today we have bigger houses yet smaller families. More convenience, but less time. We have more degrees, but less common sense. More knowledge, but less judgement. We have more experts, but more problems. More medicine, but less good health. We spend too recklessy. Laugh too little. Drive too fast. Get too angry too quickly. Stay up too late. Read too little. Watch TV too much. And are less considerate. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too little and lie too often. We have learnt how to make a living, but not a life. We have added years to life, but not life to years. We have taller buildings, but short tempers. Wider roads, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less. We buy more, yet enjoying less. We have been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the road to meet our neighbours. Weve conquered our outer space, buy not our inner space. Weve split the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, learn less, plan more, but accomplish less. We have higher incomes, but lower morals. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies, but we have less personal communication. We are long on quantity, but less in quality. These are the times of fast food, but slow digestion. Tall men and shorter character. More leisure, but less fun. More kinds of food but less nutrition. Steep profits but shallow relationships. Two incomes, but more divorce. Nicer houses but broken homes. These are the days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throw-away morality, one-night stands, 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.
