i know everyone has seen this before..but its just the right timing..so i used it
*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 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 TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have
multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We
talk too much, love too little, 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
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 conquered 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 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.
*Remember, spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not
going to be around forever. Remember, say a kind word to
someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will
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 cent. Remember, to
say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all
mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes
from deep inside of 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 give time to share the precious
thoughts in your mind.
