>       >>
>       >>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 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 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.  A time when technology can bring this
>       >>letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this
>       >>insight, or to just hit delete.
>       >>
>       >>
>       >>  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.
>       >>
>       >>
>       >>  Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the
>       >>moments that take our breath away.
