sosultan Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 Hard to believe this was written by a high school student...So wellwritten, and so very true... A Columbine High School student wrote:Life in perspectiveThe paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings,but shorter tempers; wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints; wespend more, but have less; we buy more, but enjoy it less. We havebigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, but lesstime; we have more degrees, but less sense; more knowledge, butless judgment; more experts, but less solutions; more medicine, butless wellness. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced ourvalues. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We'velearned 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 havetrouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor. We've conqueredouter space, but not inner space; we've cleaned up the air, but pollutedthe soul; we've split the atom, but not our prejudice. We have higherincomes, but lower morals; we've become long on quantity, but short onquality. These are the times of tall men, and short character; steepprofits,and shallow relationships.These are the times of world peace, but domestic warfare;more leisure, but less fun; more kinds of food, but less nutrition.These are days of two incomes, but more divorce; of fancier houses,but broken homes. It is a time when there is much in the show windowand nothing in the stockroom; a time when technology can bring this letterto you, and a time when you can choose either to forward this messageand make a difference...... or just hit delete.
