The paradox of our times

Today we have bigger houses but small families,

More convenience but less time.

We have more degrees but less common sense,

More knowledge but less judgement.

We have more experts but more problems,

More medicine but less good health.

We spend too recklessly,

Laugh too little,

Drive too fast,

Get too angry too quickly,

Stay up too late,

Read too little,

And are less considerate.

We have multiplied our possessions but have reduced our values,

We have added years to life but not life to years.
