We have taller buildings, but shorter tempers;
wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints.
We spend more, but have less; we buy more, but enjoy it less.
We have bigger houses and smaller families;
more conveniences, but less time.
We have more degrees but less sense;
more knowledge, but less judgement;
more experts, yet more problems;
more medicine, but less wellness.
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've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion;
big men, and small character;
steep profits, and shallow relationships.
These are days of two incomes, 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
Were cleaning up the air, but polluting our soul.
We've split the atom, but not our prejudice.
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.
ALL IN THE NAME OF PROGRESS
