Today we have bigger houses yet smaller families,
More convenience, but less time.
We have more degrees, but less common sense,
More knowledge, but less judgment.
We have more experts, but more problems,
More medicine, but less good health.
We spend too recklessly
Laugh too little
Drive too fast
Get too angry too quickly
Stay up too late
Read too little
Watch TV too much
And are less considerate.
We have multiplied our possessions, but have reduced our values
We talk too much, love too little and lie too often.
We have learned how to make a living, but not a life
We have added years to life, but not life to years.
We have taller buildings, but shorter tempers
Wider roads, but narrower viewpoints.
We spend more, but have less
We buy more, yet enjoy it less.
We have been all the way to the moon and back
But have trouble crossing the road to meet our neighbours.
We've conquered our outer space, But not our inner space.
We've split the atom
But not our prejudice.
We write more, learn less, plan more, but accomplish less
We have learned to rush, but not to wait,
We have higher incomes , but lower morals.
We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies, But have less personal communication.
We are long on quantity,
But less in quality.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion
Tall men and short character.
More leisure but less fun - more kinds of food - but less nutrition
Steep profits but shallow relationships.
Two incomes - but more divorce
nicer houses - but broken homes
These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one-night stands, 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.
