The Paradox of our Time

A wise man said,

The paradox of our time is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers.

We spend more but have less

We buy more but enjoy it less

We have wider freeways but narrower viewpoints.

We have bigger houses but smaller families

We have more degrees but less commonsense

We have more knowledge but less judgement

We have more Experts but more problems.

We drink too much, smoke too much

We have more medicine but less wellness

We spend too recklessly and talk too much

We laugh too little but get angry too quickly

We stay up too late, get up too tired.

We read too seldom and watch too much TV

We complain too much but pray too little.

We love seldom but hate too much.

We have multiplied our possessions but reduced our values

We have learned how to make a living but not how to live.

We have added years to our life but not life to our years.
