Hope

Our nation are in the state of unjust.

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 it less.

We have bigger houses, smaller families;
more conveniences, but less time; we have more
degrees, but less sense; more knowledge, but less judgement;

 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 life; we've added years to our life, but not
life to our years.

We've been all the way to the moon and back,
but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new
neighbor. We've conquered outer space, but not inner space; 

we've cleaned up the air, but polluted
the soul; we've split the atom, but not our 
prejudice.

We have higher incomes, but lower morals;
we've become long on quantity, but short 
on quality.

These are times of tall men, and short character;
steep profits, and shallow relationships. These are
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; fancier houses, but broken homes.

It is a time when there is much in the show 
window, but nothing in the stockroom; a time
when technology can bring this letter to you and
a time when you can choose to either make a
difference ... or just hit delete.
