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 JUDGEMENT;
MORE EXPERTS, BUT MORE PROBLEMS;
MORE MEDICINES, BUT LESS HEALTHINESS;
WE’VE BEEN ALL THE WAY TO THE MOON AND BACK,
BUT HAVE TROUBLE CROSSING THE STREET TO MEET
THE NEW NEIGHBOUR.
WE BUILD MORE COMPUTERS TO HOLD MORE
INFORMATION, TO PRODUCE MORE COPIES THAN
EVER, BUT HAVE LESS COMMUNICATION.
WE HAVE BECOME LONG ON QUANTITY,
BUT SHORT ON QUALITY.
THESE ARE TIMES OF FAST FOOD
BUT SLOW DIGESTION;
TALL MAN BUT SHORT CHARACTER;
STEEP PROFITS BUT SHALLOW RELATIONSHIPS.
IT IS A TIME WHEN THERE IS MUCH IN THE
WINDOW, BUT NOTHING IN THE ROOM.”
