" The paradox of our historical era is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider roads but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but less flavor. We have bigger houses but smaller families, more conveniences, but less time, and we have more degrees and a little common sense. We have more knowledge but less policy, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine but less wellness. We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive recklessly, we get angry too, we stay up late, we wake up too tired, read too little, watch TV and pray too seldom.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values.
talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We have learned to live a life, not a life, we've added years to life not life to years. We reached the moon and we're back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner. We have made things more striking, but not better things. We have clean air, but polluted the soul. We have won the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but completed 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. "
