where are we heading


The paradox of our time in history is that we havetaller 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; moreconveniences, but less time; we have more degrees, butless sense; more knowledge, but less judgement; moreexperts, but more problems; more medicine, but less wellness.


We drink too much, spend too recklessly, laugh toolittle, 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 talk too much, love too seldom, and hate toooften.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 havetrouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor.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'vesplit 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 higherincomes, but, lower morals.


We build more computers to hold more information toproduce more copies than ever, but have lesscommunication; We've become long on quantity, butshort on quality.


These are the days of two incomes, but more divorce;of fancier houses, but broken homes. These are the days of quick trips, disposable diapers,throw away morality, one nightstands, overweightbodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill.


Where are we heading ....?
