Paradoxes of our time PDF Print E-mail

The paradox of our time in history is that we have older buildings but narrower viewpoints;

wider freeways but narrower minds.
We spend more but have less, we buy more but enjoy less and less.
We have bigger houses but smaller families,
We have more conveniences but less time;
We have more degrees but less sense,
more knowledge but less trial;
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,
We are too angry,
Stay up too late, we got up too tired,
Read too little, 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 hate too often.
I learned how to earn our living but not how to make our life
I have added years to life not life to years.
We've been on the moon and back but have trouble crossing the
street to meet a new neighbor.
We conquered outer space but not inner space.
We've done larger things but not better.
I cleaned up the air but polluted the soul.
We've conquered the atom but not our prejudice.
We write more but learn less.
We plan more but accomplish less.
I've 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 the days of quick trips, disposable diapers
usage, morality worthless, adventures of a night, bodies
overweight and pills that do any state of joy, the silence of death.
There are some times when the windows are too many but nothing inside.
A time when technology can bring this letter and that you
decide either to share this view, is to remove this message.
Remember to spend time with loved ones,
So that will not be around forever.
Remember, say a kind word to worship you, because
that child will grow and will soon leave your side.
Remember to warm hug to the one next to you because
this is the only treasure you can give with your heart and not cost you anything.
Remember to say "I love you" friend and those your loved ones,
but most of all mean it.
A kiss and a îmbartisare will mend hurt when they are sincere.
Remember to keep them on hand and loved ones to cherish that moment
because someday that person will not be there again.

Take time to love, give time to speak, give time to share the precious thoughts you have.


All my friends, thank you exist.
