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 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, but more problems; More medicine, but less wellness; We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk to much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We have learned to make a living, but not a life. We have added years to our live, but not life to years. We have been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We have conquered outer space, but not inner space. We have cleaned up the air, but polluted the soil. We have split the atom, but not our prejudice. We have higher incomes, but lower morals. We have become long on quantity, but short on quality. These are times of tall men, and short of character; Steep profits and shallow relationships. 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; It is a time when there is much in the shop window and nothing in the stock room. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, Yahweh and Yahshua bless. |
