The Paradox of our Age

We have bigger houses, but smaller families.
more coneniences, 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 troube crossing the street to meet
the new neighbor.
We built more computer to hold more
information to produced 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 a time when there is much in the window
but nothing in the room.

Dalai Lama
