PARADOX OF OUR TIMES

Today we have bigger houses and smaller families; more convenience, but less time.

We have more degrees, but less common sense; more knowledge, but less judgment.

We have more experts, but more problems; more medicines, but less wellness.

We spent too recklessly, laugh too little; drive too fast' get angry to quickly, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too often, and pray too seldom.

W have multiple our possessions, but reduced values. We talked too much, but love too little and lie too often.

We have learned how to making a living; but not a life; we have added years to life, not life to years.

We have taller buildings, but shorter tempers, wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints.

We spent more but have less; we buy more but enjoy it less.

We have all the way to the moon and back but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor.

We have conquered outer space, but not inner space. We have split the atom, but not our prejudice.

We write more, but learn less; plan more, but accomplish less.

We have learned to rush, but not to wait; we have higher incomes, but lower morals.

We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies, but have less communication. We are long on quantity, but short on quality.

These are the time of fast foods an slow digestion; tall men and short character; steep profits and shallow relationships. More leisure and less fun; more kinds of food and less nutrition; two incomes, but more divorce; fancier house, but broken home.

That's why i propose that as of today, you do not keep anything for a special occasion, because that everyday you live is a special occasion.

Search for knowledge, read more, sit on your front porch and admire the view without paying attention to your needs.

Spend more time with your family and friends; eat your favorite foods and visit the places you love.

Life is a chain of moment of enjoyment, not only survival.

Use your crystal goblets. Do not save your best perfume, you it every time you feel you want it.

Remove from your vocabulary phrases like "one of these days" and "someday". Let's write that letter we thought of writing "one of these days"

let's tell our families and friends how much we love them. Do not delay anything that adds laughter and joy to your life.

Every day, every hour, and every minute is special. And you don't know if it will be your last.
