Where are we heading....
I'd like to share this heartfelt note written by sis Sarimah. Spare some thoughts for this...
These days we have taller buildings , but shorter tempers, wider freeways , narrower viewpoints, spend more, but have less, buy more, but enjoy it less.
We have bigger houses, smaller families, more conveniences, less time, more degrees, less sense, more knowledge, less judgement, more experts, but more problems. more medicines, less wellness.
We eat too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry quickly, stay up late, get up tired, read too little, watch TV too much and pray too seldom.
We talk too much, love too seldom, 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 too the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbour. We've conquered outer space, but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things. We've cleaned the air, but polluted the soul. We've split the atom, but not prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, not wait. We have higher incomes, lesser morals.
With computers, we have more information, but less communication. We long for quantity, but are short on quality. We have double incomes, but more divorces. fancier house, but broken homes. So where are we heading? Perhap's it's time to stop and reflect.
Sometimes our hearts get tangles. And our souls a little off. Friends and family can set us right. And help guide us back to the light.
