How True...

Well I read this piece in the TOI's Sacred Space column. Found it quite relevant in the present context!! Just give it a thought...

We’ve taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider roads but narrower viewpoints.
We spend more, but have less, buy more but enjoy less.
We’ve bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time.
We’ve 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, read too little, watch TV too much and pray too seldom.

We’ve 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 plan more but accomplish less.
We’ve learned to rush but not to wait.
We’ve more information but we communicate less and less…
