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 judgement;
more experts, but more problems;
more medicines, but less healthiness;
We've been all the way to the moon and back,
but have touble crossing the street to meet the new neighbour;
We built more computers to hold more information to produce more copies than ever,
but have less communication;
We have become long on quantity, but short on quality;
These are times to fast foods but slow digestion;
Tall man but short character;
Steep profits but shallow relationships;
It's a time when there is much in the window, but nothing in the room.

...His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
