我們時代的PARADOX(英語)

THE PARADOX OF OUR TIME

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 more conveniences, but less time; we have more degrees, but less 
sense; more knowledge, but less judgement; more experts, but more problems.

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.

We've conquered outer space, but not inner space.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the 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 have more food, but less appeasement.

We have more kinds of food, but less nutrition.

We have higher income, but lower morals.

We have steep profits, but shallow relationship.

These are days of two incomes, but more divorce; fancier houses, but broken 
homes.
