We have more degrees, but less common sense, more knowledge, but less judgement.

We have more experts and more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get angry too quickly, stay up too late, get too tired, read too seldom, watch television too often and PRAY too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom and lie too often.

We have learned how to make a living, but not a life.

We have added years to life, not life to years.

We have been all the way to the moon and back,

but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbour.

We have conquered outer space, but not inner space.

We have done larger things, but not better things.

We have cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul.

We have split the atom, but not our prejudice.

We have learned to rush, but not to wait.

We have higher incomes, but lower morals.

We have more acquaintances, but fewer friends.

We build more computers to hold more information to produce more copies, but have less communication.

These are the times of fast food, steep profits, shallow relationships and domestic warfare.

These are the days of two incomes, but more divorce, of fancier houses, but broken homes.

These are the days of quick trips, disposable nappies, throw away morality, one night stands, overweight bodies and pills that ruin the character.
