Isn't this so true in our days?

The real paradox of our times by Axmed Asmali.

 

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings in our cities but shorter tempers, wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but also enjoy less.

We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time for ourselves and our families. We have more university degrees and other high qualifications but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems of all kinds, more medicine, but less good health and the absence of disease. illnesses.

 

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 television 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 have been all the way to the moon and back and are even exploring the possibility of sending man to Planet Mars, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbour. We conquered the outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.

 

We've cleaned up the air in our environments, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudices. 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 characters, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes in families 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 the delete key on your computer.

 

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath.

[Baashi]
