< Let us all remember the beautiful words of 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 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 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 ever, but we communicate less
< and
< 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 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 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 to 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 the precious thoughts in your mind.
