 THE PARADOX OF OUR TIMES- His Holiness the Dalai Lama Is that we have taller buildings, but shorter tempers Wider freeways, but
narrower viewpoints We spend more, but we have less We have bigger houses, but smaller
families More conveniences, but less time We have more degrees, but less sense More knowledge, but less judgment More experts, but more problems More medicines, but less wellness We have multiplied our
possessions, but reduced our values We talk too much, love too seldom,
and hate too often We have learnt how to make a
living, but not a life We have 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 have conquered outer space, but
not inner space We’ve cleaned up the air, but
polluted our soul We’ve split the atom, but not our
prejudice We’ve higher incomes, but lower
morals We’ve become long on quantity but
short on quality These are the times of tall men,
and short character Steep profits, and shallow relationships These are the times of world
peace, but domestic warfare More leisure, but less fun; more
kinds of food, but less nutrition These are the days of two incomes,
but more divorces Of fancier houses, but broken
homes It is a time when there is much in
the show 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 make a difference.... or just hit,
delete. |
Remember to spend some time with your loved ones,
because they are not going to be around forever.
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.
And always remember, life is not measured by number of breaths we take,
but by those moments that take our breath away. – Dr. Bob Moorehead
