Paradoxes of Our Time (redux)

The paradox of our time is we spend more, but have less, We have taller buildings, but shorter tempers, We have more degrees, but less sense, We have more healthcare, but worse health, We spend recklessly, drive too fast and rise quickly to anger, We've been to the moon and back, We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've done bigger things, but not better things. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We communicate faster but connect less. These are times of fast foods, disposable diapers and more divorce We hear from tall men about mean character,	live in bigger houses, with smaller families. wider freeways,  but narrower viewpoints. more knowledge, and less judgment. more experts, yet more problems. yet we rarely laugh, smile less and forget to pray. but can’t cross the street to meet a new neighbour. We have higher incomes, but lower morals. We've added years to life, not life to years. We've become long on quantity, but short on quality. We talk too much and listen too little. We've conquered outer space, but not inner space. but less nutrition, slow indigestion and throw away morality. and read of steep profits from shallow relationships.
