Our time in history is pervaded by paradox. We have taller buildings but shorter tempers; wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but we have less; we buy more but enjoy less.
We have bigger houses and smaller families, More conveniences, but less time; More degree's, but less sense; More knowledge, but less judgment; More experts, yet more problems, More medicine, but less health. We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values.
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've conquered outer space but not inner space. We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudices.
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 food and slow digestion. Steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses but broken homes.
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, 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 some day that person will not be there anymore. Make time to Love, make time to speak, make time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.
