THE PARADOX OF OUR TIMES...

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers,
Wider Expressways 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 too much TV and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values.
We 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 a new neighbor.
We have conquered outer space but not inner space.
We've done larger things but not better things.

We talk about cleaning our air, land and water but never remember to stop polluting the soul.
We've conquered the atom but not our prejudice.

We write more but learn less.
We plan more but accomplish less.

We have learned to rush but not to wait.
We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever but we communicate less and less.

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 two incomes but more divorce, 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.

Let us remember our true nature and discover our true selves before we get crushed by this cacophonous onslaught of modern life!
Let us remember to give the "Human Nature" of Homo Sapiens Sapiens a chance!

Remember to spend some more time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.

Remember to say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person will soon grow up and leave your side.

Remember to give a warm hug to the one next to you because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a rupee.

Remember to say "I Love you' to your partner and your loved ones but most off all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep within you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak! And remember to give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

And always remember:

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away!
