Some paradoxes of our time...

Today we have bigger houses but smaller families,

more amenities but less time.

We have a higher education level and more knowledge,

but less common sense and competence to judge.

We have more experts, but more problems.

More medicine but less health.

We multiplied our properties and estates but we reduced our values and morals.
We talk too much, love too little and lie too often.

We learned how to make a living but not how to live,
We have years to live but can't add years to life

We have higher buildings but lower tempers,
We have wider streets but narrower points of view

We spend more but have less,
We buy more but enjoy less

We went all the way to the moon and back,
yet we can't cross the street to meet our neighbours.
We split up atoms but can't break down our own prejudices.

We write more, learn less,
Plan more but finish less,
We rush and cannot wait.

We build more computers to obtain more information,
but to have less personal communication.

We have more quantity than quality,
More spare time but less fun,
More kinds of food but with less nutrition,
Two incomes but more divorces,
Nicer houses but broken homes...

... are we progressing or regressing?
