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 it 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, but less solutions

more medicine, but less wellness

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 the new neighbor

we've conquered outer space, but not inner space

we've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul

we've split the atom, but not our prejudice

we have higher incomes, but lower morals

we've become long on quantity, but short on quality

These are the times of tall men, and short character

teep profits and shallow relationships

These are the times of world peace, but domestic warfare

These are days of two incomes, but more divorce

of fancier houses, but broken homes

It is a time when there is much in the show window and nothing in the stockroom.
