>> A wonderful Message by George Carlin:
>>
>> 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; 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
> will not be there again.
>>
>> Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the
> precious thoughts in your mind.
>>
>> AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:
>>
>> Li fe is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the
> moments that take our breath away.
>>
>> If you don't send this to at least 8 people....Who cares?
