The paradox of our time

[beeches]

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller builders but shorter tempers,wider freeways,but narrowerer 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 common sense,more knowledge,but less judgement, more experts,yet more problems, more medicines, but less wellness.



We drink too much,smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh 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 learnt how to make a living, but not a life,we've added years to life not life to years.

We,ve done longer things but not better things. We've cleared 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 time of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character.


Remember to say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe,because that little person will soon 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 penny.


Remember to say 'I love you' to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it,a kiss and embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside you. Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.Give time to love,time to talk,time to share the precious thought in your mind.There is time for everything when you spend time loving there is no time fot hating..

Nicely put.

Although, If I was to make a habit of hugging my partners, I'd be spending way too much time in the dentist office getting my teeth replaced.

The only partners I have around are those I work with, on occasion, and them's not the hugging kind.
