The Paradox
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller
buildings, but 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 time. We have more degrees, but less
sense; more knowledge, but less judgment; more experts, but
more problems; more medicine, but less wellness.
We have 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 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 cleaned
up the air, but polluted the soul. We've split the atom,
but not our prejudice. We have higher incomes, but lower
morals. We've become long on quantity, but short on
quality.
These are the times of 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
broken homes.
It is a time when there is much in the show window and
nothing in the stockroom; a time when technology can bring
this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either
to make a difference, or to just hit delete.
- George Carlin
