The Paradox of Our Age - Dalai Lama

The Paradox of Our Age

Is that we have taller buildings, but shorter tempers.
Wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints.
We spend more, but we have less.
We have bigger houses, but smaller families.
More conveniences, but less time.
We have more degrees, but less sense.
More knowledge, but less judgement.
More experts, but more problems.
More medicines, but less wellness.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values.
We talk too much, love too seldom and hate too often.
We have learnt to make a living, but not a life.
We have added years to life, but not life to years.
We've been all the way to the moon and back,
but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbour.
We built more computers to hold more
information to produce more copies than ever, but have less communication.
We have conquered outer space, but not inner space.
We’ve cleaned up the air, but polluted our soul.
We’ve split the atom, but not our prejudice.
We’ve higher incomes, but lower morals.
We have become long on quantity,
but short on quality.
These are times of fast foods, but slow digestion.
These are times of tall man, but short 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 divorces.
Of fancier houses, but broken homes.
It's a time when there is much in the show window,
but nothing in the stock room.
A time when technology can bring this letter to you.
And a time when you can choose.
Either to make a difference….. or just hit, delete.

His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama.
