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
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 of fast foods
but slow digestion;
Tall man but short character;
Steep profits but
shallow relationships.
Its a time when there is much
in the window,
but nothing in the room

.....His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
