A wonderful Message by
George Carlin:
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 less. We have
bigger houses and smaller
families, more conveniences, but
less time. We have more degrees
but less sense, more knowledge,
but less judgment, more experts,
yet more problems, more medicine,
but less wellness.
We drink too much, smoke too much,
spend too recklessly, laugh too
little, drive too fast, get too
angry, 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 a new neighbor. We 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 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 t he times of fast foods
and slow digestion, big men and
small character, steep profits and
shallow relationships. These are
the days of two incomes but more
divorce, fancier houses, but
broken homes. These are days of
quick trips, disposable diapers,
throwaway 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
showroom 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 share this insight, or to just
hit delete...
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 in
awe, 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 someday that person
will not be there again.
Give time to love, give time to
speak! And give time to share the
precious thoughts in your mind.
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:
Life is not measured by the number
of breaths we take, but by the
moments that take our breath away.
