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 neighbor.
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.
It’s a time when there is much in the
window,
But nothing in the room.
H. H. The XIVth Dalai Lama.
