The Paradox Of Our Age
We have bigger houses but smaller families;
more conveniences, but less time.
We have more degrees but less sense;
more knowledge but less judgment;
more experts, but more problems;
more medicines but less healthiness.
We’ve been all the way to the moon and back,
but have trouble in crossing the street to meet our new neighbor.
We built more computers to hold more copies than ever,
but have less real communication;
We have become long on quantity,
but short on quality.
These are times of fast foods but slow digestion;
Tall men but short characters;
Steep profits but shallow relationships.
It’s a time when there is much in the window but nothing in the room.

Having mused upon the paradoxical viewpoints so poignantly expressed with your literary and aesthetic prowess, presented to the lector in relevant contemporary terms, I bask in the vibratory spiritual enlightenment induced by your interpretation and expansion of such philosophical genius as that found in its circumspect birthright.
Having everything not a problem...gaining more is adding to our wants...distributing is generosity and a break to have more...ultimate by encouraging is insight one another...
