We have bigger houses
and smaller families;
more conveniences,
but less time;
we have more degrees,
but less sense;
more knowledge,
but less judgement;
more experts,
but 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 too quickly,
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 the new neighbour.

We've conquered outer space,
but not inner space;
we've done larger things,
but not better things.
We've cleaned up the air,
but polluted the soul;
we've split 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 have higher incomes,
but lower morals;
we have more food,
but less appeasement;
we build more computers
to hold more information
to produce more copies than ever,
but have less communication;
we've become long on quantity,
but short on quality.

These are the times of
fast foods and slow digestion;
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 days of
two incomes, but more divorce;
of fancier houses, but broken homes.
These are days of
quick trips, disposable diapers,
throw away morality,
one night stands,
overweight bodies,
and pills that do everything
from cheer,
to quiet,
to kill.

It is a time when there is much
in the show window
and nothing in the stockroom;
a time when technology
can bring this page to you,
and a time when you can choose
either to make a difference,
or to just hit the 'back' button:-)
