Where are we heading
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 havebigger 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 medecine,but less wellness.We drink too much,spend too recklessly,laugh too little,drive too fast,get angry too quickly,stay up too late,get up too tired,read too little,watch TV too much,and pray too seldom.
我们这个时代在历史上的说法就是我们拥有更高的建筑,但是有更爆的脾气；拥有更宽阔的高速公路,却有更狭隘的观点；花费的更多,拥有的却更少；购买的更多享受的却更少.我们的房子越来越大,家庭却越来越小；便利越来越多,时间却越来越少；学位越来越多,感觉却越来越少；知识越来越多,观点却越来越少；专家越来越多,问题也越来越多；药物越来越多,福利却越来越少.我们喝的太多,花钱大手大脚,笑的太少,开车太快,易怒,熬夜,赖床,书读得越来越少,电视看得越来越多,却很少向上帝祈祷.
