PARADOX AT THE END OF MILLENNIUM

Here we are at the end of the millennium and how has life changed, for the good or the bad? Just a few lines to ponder about the life we have created ourselves: We have taller buildings, but shorter tempers; Wider free ways, but narrower viewpoints; We spend more, but have less; We have bigger houses and smaller families; More conveniences, but less time; We have more degrees, but less sense; More knowledge, but less judgement; More experts, but less solutions and more problems; More medicines, but less wellness. We spend too recklessly, laugh too little: We drive too fast, get up too tired, read too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom and lie 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 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; We plan more, but accomplish less. Here we are at the end of the millennium and how has life changed, for the good or the bad? Just a few lines to ponder about the life we have created ourselves... We've learned to rush, but not to wait; We have higher income; but lower morals; We have more food but less appeasement; More acquaintances; but fewer friends; More effort but less success. 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 foods and slow digestion; Tall men, short character, Steep profits, and shallow relationship. These are the times of world peace but domestic warfare; more leisure and less fun; More kinds of food, but less nutrition. Of fancier houses, but broken homes These are days of quick trips,disposable diapers, throw away morality, over weight bodies, 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. Indeed it's all-true. Think about it...read it again.
