> Let us all remember the beautiful words of 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

> 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

> 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 
> two

> 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

> Remember, spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not

> 
> Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because

> 
> Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but

> Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person
