Beautiful message from George Carlin
The paradox of our time in history is that, 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 have bigger houses and
smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees
but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more
problems, more medicine, but less wellness. We drink too much, smoke too
much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry,
stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and
pray too seldom. 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 a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but
not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things. We've
cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered 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. These are the times of fast foods and slow
digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow
relationships. These are the days of 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. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and
nothing in the stockroom.
A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can
choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete. Remember, spend
some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around
forever. Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe,
because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side. Remember,
to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure
you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent. Remember, to say,
"I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it.
A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.
Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will
not be there again. Give time to love, give time to speak and give time to
share the precious thoughts in your mind. To all my friends in my life,
thanks for being there - George Carlin
