LIFE'S PARADOX....


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, getup 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 "one way" to meet a neighbour.

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 write more, but learn less. We plan more but accomplish less.
We've learned to rush, but not to wait.

We have built computers to hold more and more information, to produce
more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men character,
steep profits and shallow relationships.

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

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
upto 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!
REMEMBER, to hold hands and cherish the moment for
some day that person will not be there again!

Give time to love, Give time to speak, Give time to share
precious thoughts in your mind.

' Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take,
but by the moments that take our breath away'.
