Words from George

[Chy]

This post has been edited to correctly site the true author. Much hooplah seems to revolve around it originally being said/written by George Carlin which is not so.

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 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, 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, disposable 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?
