>>A wonderful Message by George Carlin:
>>
>>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 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, yet more problems, more
>>medicine, but less wellness.
>>
>>We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too
>>little,
>>drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read
>>too
>>little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.
>>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 al l the way to the moon and back, but
>>have
>>trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer
>>space
>>but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.
>>
>>We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the
>>atom,
>>but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but
>>accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more
>>computers to
>>hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we
>>communicate
>>less and less.
>>
>>These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small
>>character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of
>>two
>>incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days
>>of
>>quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands,
>>overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to
>>kill. It is
>>a time when there is much in the showroom 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 share this insight, or to just hit delete...
>>
>>Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not
>>going
>>to be around forever.
>>
>>Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because
>>that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.
>>
>>Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the
>>only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.
>>
>>Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but
>>most
>>of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from
>>deep
>>inside of you.
>>
>>Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person
>>will
>>not be there again.
