The paradox of our age

We have bigger houses,

but smaller famillies;

More conveniences,

but less time;

We have more degrees,

but less sense;

More knowledge,

but less judgement;

More experts,

but more problems.

More medicine,

but less healthiness.

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

but have trouble crossing the street to met the new neighbour.

We built more computers to hold more information,

to produce more copies than ever,

but have less communication.

We´ve become long on quantity,

but short on quality.

These are times of fast foods but slow digestion;

Tall men but short character;

Steep profits but shallow relationships.

It is time when there is much in the window but nothing in the storeroom.

His holiness the XIV Dalai Lama
