Thought you might enjoy this.  ~~Julie

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 it less.

 We have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, but less
 time; we have more degrees, but less sense; more knowledge, but less
judgement;
 more experts, but more problems; more medicine, but less wellness.

 We drink too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, 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 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 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've split 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 higher incomes, but
lower
 morals. We have more food, but less appeasement. We build more
computers
 to hold more information to produce more copies than ever, but have
less
 communication; We've become long on quantity, but short on quality.

 These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion; tall men, and
short
 character; steep profits and shallow realtionships. These are the times
 of world peace, but domestic warfare; more leisure, but less fun; more
kinds
 of food, but less nutrition.

 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 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 show 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 make a difference, or simply  to hit
 DELETE.
