.........LONG BUT GOOD.......ENJOY

The paradox of our time in history is that we have
taller buildings
but shorter tempers, wider Freeways , but narrower
viewpoints.
We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy
less.
We have bigger houses and smaller families, more
conveniences, but less time.
We have 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 to o much, spend too
recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too
angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too
little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

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

W e'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've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul.
We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We
write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish
less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We
build more computers to hold more information, to
produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less
and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion,
big men and small character, steep profits and shallow
relationships. These are the days of two incomes but
more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These
are days of quick trips, disposab le diapers, throwaway
morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills
that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is
a time when there is much in the showroom window and
nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can
bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose
either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...

Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because
they are not going to be around forever.

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to
you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up
and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you,
because that is the only treasure you can give with your
heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

Remember, to say, 'I love you' to your
partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A
kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from
deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for
someday that person will not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to
share the precious thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take,
but by the moments that take our breath away.

If you don't send this to at least 8 people....
Who cares?
