Welcome to Civilisation

Hello , family.

Recently i have started on more book, LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL by Tony Martin. I have found a very interesting page in this book. I would like to share it with you. Author has taken it from somewhere which is mentioned at the end.

 

 


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 familites , more conveniences , but lesst 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 too 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. 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've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul.

We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. WE write more , bet 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, disposable diapers, throwaway morailty , one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet , to kill . And this paradox goes by the name CIVILIZATION.
