~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

We have taller buildings, but shorter tempers
We have wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints
We spend more, but have less
We buy more, but enjoy less

We have bigger houses, but smaller families
We have more conveniences, but less time
We have more degrees, but less sense
We have more knowledge, but less judgment

We have more experts, but fewer solutions,
We have more medicines, but less well-being
We have infinite ends, but limited means

We spend so recklessly, laugh so little, drive so fast
get angry so quickly, stay up too late, get up too tired
read seldom, watch TV too much, and Pray 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 have added years to life, not life to years

We have 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 have done larger things, but not better things
We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the souls
We've split 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 have higher incomes, but lesser earnings

We have more food, but less satisfaction
We have more acquaintances, but fewer friends
We do more efforts, but succeed less

We are long on Quantity, short on Quality
We act smart, instead of being smart
We have fancier houses, but broken homes

These are the times of world peace, but domestic warfare
more leisure and less fun;
more kinds of food, but less nutrition.

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

What a life if full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare

True, it has a negative look at life.But it is reality
HOPE WE CAN CHANGE THAT
