The paradox of our times

Hoje... Hoje decidi partilhar com vocês um texto que li... com o qual me identifico 100%... porque cada vez mais a Felicidade de todos tem que ser medida... não de acordo com aquilo que temos ou possuímos, mas de acordo com o que podemos dar e partilhar...
 
Leiam... e partilhem...
 
"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, to 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 might not be there again. Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to  share the precious thoughts in your mind.
