Another forwarded mail , which people read and sigh..and get going..
And yea I'm one of them too :( Times have changed, and so have we..
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 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. Are we going to take some time to think where we are up to??

Yes time has changed. But who/what is the reason for this? People prefer playing computer games over outdoor games. People want to live in a virtual world than in the real world. We sit and chat online with a friend who is just one street away. All this is making a house big, but a family smaller. :(
ReplyDeleteTo add on to this there are so called social networking sites like facebook/orkut/twitter. This has manipulated(corrupted) human brain to such an extent that when there is a fire accident in a building a person inside it posts it on all the social networking sites instead of coming out of the building unhurt or even helping others come out of it..
Good thought shared Anshika...
deep thought it is...
