Thread: By George Carlin

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 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, but communicate 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 mortality, one night ends, 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 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.

So true, and sadly this is what the world is, and will it only get worse. thanks for tryin, I took alot from it
