The Paradox Of Our Age

We have bigger houses but 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 medicines but less healthiness.

We’ve been all the way to the moon and back,

but have trouble in crossing the street to meet our new neighbour.

We built more computers to hold more copies than ever,

But have less real communication;

We have become long on quantity,

but short on quality.

These are times of fast foods but slow digestion;

Tall mean but short characters;

Steep profits but shallow relationships.

It’s a time when there is much in the window

But nothing in the room.

His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama.

and nothing seems to be changing any of that. not even realising how wrong it is.

Yes. Koan.

People in their masses read that & think WOW, HE'S A GOD. It irritates me, Why?

ITS OBVIOUS :rolleyes:

No offense taken, Buttercup!

I'm not a big fan of the Lama myself, I'm more neutral than anything. I did like this piece though just because I think it's accurate.
