The Paradox of Our Times

this was sent to me in an email years ago and I copied it down and I just came across it again so I will share it with you now:

The Paradox of Our Time:
Today we have bigger houses, and smaller families.
More convenience but less time.
We have more degrees but less common sense
More knowledge but less judgment
We have more experts, but more problems.
More medicine, but less wellness
We spend too recklessly, laugh too little,
Drive too fast, get angry too quickly,
Stay up too late, read too little.
Watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.
We multiply our possessions but reduce our values
we talk too much, love too little, lie too often.
We’ve learned how to make a living, but not a life.
We’ve added years to our lives but not life to our years.
We have taller buildings, but shorter tempers
Wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints
We spend more but have less
We buy more, but enjoy less
We’ve been to the Moon and back
But we have trouble crossing the street
To meet our neighbors
We’ve conquered outer space
But not inner space
We’ve split the atom
But not our prejudices
We write more, learn less, plan more but accomplish less
We’ve learned to rush but not to wait
We have higher incomes, but lower morals
We build more computers but have less information
To produce more copies but have less connections
We are long on quantity but less on quality
These are the times of fast food but slow digestion

I think this may have come from George Carlin, but I am not sure. If you know who wrote it, let me know because I sure love it.
