Paradox Of Our Times
Today we have bigger houses and smaller familiesMore conveniences , 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 wellness
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 pray too seldom
We multiply our possessions, but reduce our values
We talk too much, love too little and lie too often
We’ve learned how to make living, but not a life
We’ve added years to life, not life to years
We have taller buildings, but shorter tempers
Wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints
We spend more, but have less
We buy more, enjoy it less
We’ve been all the way to the moon and back
But have trouble crossing the street to meet our neighbors.
We’ve conquered outer space,
But not inner space
We’ve split the atom
But not our prejudice
We write more, learn less, plan more, but accomplish less
we’ve 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 communications
We are long on quantity,
But short on quality
These are the time of fast foods and slow digestion
Tall men , and short character
More leisure and less fun, more kinds of foods, but less nutrition
Two incomes, but more divorce
Fancier houses, but broken homes
How True it is....haihhh...

I note with interest your blog contains a negative meme called ‘The Paradox of our Times’, which incidentally has nothing to do with George Carlin (see his website for emphatic denial). Surprisingly, these verses contain absolutely no meaning, but nevertheless are not without purpose. If you want to know what they are, what they do, and how they work, check out the story ‘Meme’ on the Bewildering Stories website. ‘Meme’ is fictional but with factual content relating to ‘Paradox’. Bewildering Stories is a bona-fide free site with no hooks or dangers. Start at the link below for the first installments, you should be able to navigate to the rest. Enlightenment can be fun!
