LIFE. The world today.
George Carlin
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
more degrees but less sense
more knowledge but less judgement
more experts but 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 quickly
stay up too late
get up too tired
read too seldom
watch TV too much
and pray too seldom.
We have multiplied our posessions, 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, but 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.
We've learned to rush, but not to wait.
We build more computers to hold more information to produce more copies than ever, but have less communication.
These are times of fast food and slow digestion;
Tall men and short character
Steep profits and shallow relationships.
These are times of world peace, but domestic warfare
More leisure but less fun
More kinds of food but less nutrition
These are days of two incomes, but more divorce;
Of fancier houses, but broken homes
These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throw away morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer to quiet, to kill.
It is a time when there is too much in the show window and nothing in the stockroom.
