Jultomten och Prioriteringar

Ögon tindrar och det glänser över sjö och strand. Frågan är vad du har för prioriteringar så här i juletid. Fundera på det medan du läser texten av en okänd.

...The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings, but shorter temper: wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints; we spend more, but have less; we buy more but enjoy it 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, but more problems; more medicine but less wellness. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values.

We talk too much, love too seldom and hate too often. We have learned how to make a living, but not a life. We have added years to life, not life to years. We have been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor. We have conquered outer space, but not inner space. We have cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul: We have split the atom, but not our prejudice; we have higher income, but lower morals; we have become long on quantity but short on quality. These are the times of tall men, and short character; step profits and shallow relationships.

These are the times of more leisure, but less fun; more kinds of food, less nutrition. These are days of two incomes, but more divorce; fancier houses, but broken homes. It is a time when there is much in the show window and nothing in the stockroom; a time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose to make a difference, or just hit delete...
