THE PARADOX OF OUR TIME... The paradox of our time in history is that we have  caller buildings, but shorter tempers;  wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints;  we spend more, but have less;  we buy more, but enjoy it 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, but less solutions;   more medicine, but less wellness.     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 the new  neighbour;   we've conquered outer space, but not inner space;   we've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul;   we've split the atom, but not our prejudice .   We have 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.   These are days of two incomes, but more divorce;   of fancier houses, but broken homes.     It is a time when there is much in the show window   and nothing in the stockroom.
