THE PARADOX OF OUR AGE

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 healthiness
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 become long on quantity,
but short on quality.
These are times of fast foods
but slow digestion
Tall man but short character
Steep profits but shallow relationships.
It's time when there is much in the window,
but nothing in the room.
