WOW…please share with the rest of us if any of these words resonate with you. Do you have a strategy for inner peace in your life living in this wired, crazy world of ours? 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. Weve learned how to make a living, but not a life. Weve added years to life, not life to years. Weve 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. Weve done larger things, but not better things. Weve cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. Weve conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. Weve learned to rush, but not to wait. We have higher incomes, but lower morals We have more food, but less appeasement We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less. Weve become long on quantity, but short on quality. 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 world peace, but domestic warfare; 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. 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 has brought this letter to you and a time when you can choose either to make a difference or to just hit delete. ~ Dr. Bob Moorehead ~
