Today
Today we have bigger houses and smaller families. More conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees, but less common sense. More knowledge, but less judgment. We have more experts,… Today we have bigger houses and smaller families. More conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees, but less common sense. More knowledge, but less judgment. We have more experts, but more problems. More medicine, but less wellness. We spend too recklessly; Laugh too little, Drive too fast, Get too angry too quickly, Stay up too late, Read too little, Watch TV too much, And pray too seldom! We’ve multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too little, and lie 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 have taller buildings, but shorter tempers; Wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less. We buy more, but enjoy it less. We’ve been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet our neighbours. We’ve conquered outer space, But not inner space. We’ve split the atom, But not our prejudice. We write more, learn less; plan more, but accomplish less. We’ve learned to rush, but not to wait. We have higher incomes,
