The Paradox of Our Age



THE PARADOX OF OUR AGE


We have bigger houses but 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 medicines, but less healthiness.
We’ve been all the way to the moon and back,
But have trouble crossing the street
To meet the new neighbor.
We build more computers
To hold more information,
To produce more copies than ever.
But have less communication.
We have become long on quantity,
But short on quality
These are times of fast foods,
But slow digestion;
Tall men, but short character;
Steep profits, but shallow relationships.
It is a time when there is much in the window
But nothing in the room.

His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama

Shut up Dali.
I'm sick of your pompous arrogance
I'm sorry that you never have the basic courage to actually visit the planet, but I really don't need your turds dropping from on high.
Screw ya.

In fact all you religious jackasses trying to talk me into being some kind of grinning zombie can go to hell, you invented it you can go live there.

Back to Dali;
Every generation has its little jerk wailing about how screwed up things are getting.
How's your country fsring these days, loser.
Get a job.
