The Paradox of Our Age

The paradox of our time in history is that
we have taller buildings but shorter tempers;
wider highways, but narrower viewpoints;
bigger houses and sma ller families;
more conveniences, but less time;
more degrees but less sense;
more knowledge, but less judgment;
more medicine, but less well-being.

We spend more, but have less;
we buy more, but enjoy less.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values.
We've learned how to make a living, but not a life.
We've added years to life, not life to years.
We've learned to rush, but not to wait.

We love too seldom, and hate too often.
We've conquered outer space, but not inner space;
the atom, but not our prejudice.

These are the days of two incomes, but more divorce;
Fancier houses, but broken homes.

So spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.
Give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the
only treasure you can give with your heart.
Remember, to say, "I love you" to your loved ones.

Always stay young.
Keep learning.
Never let the brain idle.
Stay happy.
Enjoy the simple things.
Laugh often, long and loud.
Tears happen. Endure,
Grieve, and move on.
Be ALIVE while you are alive.

Remember. Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by
Moments that takes our breath away. Can you think of any?
