Something intelligent
This is quite amazing, because the author is dead-on with their outlook:
We have taller buildings, but shorter tempers; wider free ways, 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 common sense; more knowledge, but less judgement; more experts, but more problems.
We spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry too quickly, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too seldom, 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 lie 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 build 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.
We’ve been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbour.
We’ve conqured 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 split the atom, but not our prejudice; we write more, but learn less; plan more, but accomplish less.
We’ve learned to rush, but not to wait; we have higher incomes; but lower morals; more food but less appeasement; more acquaintances, but fewer friends; more effort but less success.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion; tall men and short character, steep profits, and shallow relationships.
These are the times of world peace, but domestic warfare; more leisure and less fun; more kinds of food, but less nutrition. These are the days of two incomes, but more divorce; of fancier houses, but broken homes.
These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one-night stands, over-weight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill.
It is a time when there is much in show window, and nothing in the stockroom.
Sitting and staring at the window can conjure a vast image and a collaboration of doodles from your imagination. From anything bizarre to a fantasy that you would hope it will come true one day. And one of mine has, being with you is something so hard to let lose. I feel that it will never go. Speding time with you every minute is like learning new things from the basics. Even if i know what I have already learnt, i still love to hear those wise words from you no matter how many times they are repeated. Your like a teacher, someone so close to my heart that will never fade. You light will always shine bright in my heart.
Sometimes I run
Sometimes I hide
Sometimes I’m scared of you
But all I really want is to hold you tight
Treat you right
Be with you day and night
Sometimes the way good things go have to go through a rough patch.
Sometimes i understand but its not just an excuse, cause i really do.
Sometimes wrong assumptions can be made but its the way its shown. i may be wrong and you know whats right, its hard to argue sometimes.
