Where Are We Headed?

We have taller buildings, But shorter tempers;
Wider Freeways, But narrower viewpoints;
Spend more, But have less;
We buy more, But enjoy it less.
We have bigger houses and smaller families;
We have more degree, and less sense;
More experts, But more problems;
More Medicines, But less wellness
We drink too much, smoke too much,
Spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry too quickly
Stay up too late, get up too tired, read too seldom,
Watch TV too much, and PRAY too seldom.
We have multiplied our possession, But reduced our Values.
We talk too much, love too seldom and lie 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 the new neighbor.
We’ve conquered outer space, But not inner space;
We’ve done larger things, But not better things;
We’ve cleaned up the air, But polluted the soul;
We’ve split the atom, But not our prejudice;
We write more, but learn less, plan more, but accomplish less.
We’ve learn to rush, But not to wait;
We have higher incomes, But lower morals;
More food, But less appeasement;
More acquaintances, But fewer friends;
More effort But less success.
`We build computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever,
But have less communication;
We’ve become long on quantity, But short on quality.
These are the times of fastfoods and slow digestion;
Tall men and shorter character; steep profits and shallow relationships.
These are the times of World Peace, But domestic warfare;
More leisure and less fun, more kinds of foods, But less nutrition.
These are the days of two income, But more divorce;
Of fancier houses, But broken homes.
These are the days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throw-away morality, one-night
stands, over-weight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill.
It is time when there is much in the show window and nothing in the stockroom.
Indeed, it’s all true.
So, good people where are we headed?
What do we have left?
