The Paradox of Time

Many of you have read this but for those of you who haven't hopefully it inspires you and puts things in perspective.

We have taller buildings, but shorter tempers, wider highways, but narrower viewpoints
We buy more, but enjoy it less
We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time
We have more advanced degrees, but less common sense, more knowledge, but less good judgment, more medicine, but less wellness
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values
We have higher incomes, but lower morals
We have have been all the way to the moon and back but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbour
We’ve conquered outer space, but inner space is still a mystery to too many of us
We have cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul
We talk too much, love too seldom and hate too often
These are times of steep profits and shallow relationships; world peace, but domestic warfare; more leisure, but less fun; two incomes, and more divorce
It is a time when technology can bring a letter to you in seconds and you can choose either to make a difference or just hit “delete”
