we have taller buildings, but shorter tempers;
wider highways, but narrower viewpoints;
more conveniences, but less time;
we have more degrees, but less common sense;
more knowledge, but less judgement;
more experts, but more problems;
we have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values.
we’ve learned how to make a living but not a life; we;ve addded 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 the new neighbour.
we’ve 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 split the atom but not our prejudice;
we write more but learn less; plan more but accomplish less.
we build 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 food and slow digestion, tall men but short temper, steep profits and shallow relationships.
these are times of world peace but domestic warfare, more leisure and less fun, more kinds of food but less nutrition.
these are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway 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 stock room.
only us, ourselves, can save us from ourselves from all these……..
