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 have bigger houses, smaller families More convenience, less time More knowledge but less judgement We have multiplied our posessions, but reduced our values We talk too much, love too seldom, hate too often We 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 a new neighbour. We have higher incomes, but lower morals These are times of world peace but domestic warfare These are the days of two incomes, but more divorce Of fancier houses, but broken homes It is a time when there is much in the store window With nothing in the stockroom We've conquered outer space, but not inner space Cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul We've split the atom, but not our prejudice.
