The Paradox of our Time
By  George Carlin

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings, =
but=20
shorter tempers; wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints.

We spend more, but have less; we buy more, but enjoy it less.

We have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, but less=20
time; we have more degrees, but less sense; more knowledge, but less=20
judgment; more experts, but 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 too quickly, stay up too late, get =
up too=20
tired, read too seldom, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have=20
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=20
life, 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 neighbor.

We've 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 split 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 have less communication.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion; tall men, and
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 days of two incomes, but more divorce; of  fancier houses, =
but=20
broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers,
throw-away 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 show window and nothing in the=20
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.
