We spend more, but enjoy less


Today we have higher buildings and wider highways, 
but shorter temperments and narrower points of view.

We spend more, but enjoy less. 
We have bigger houses, but smaller families. 
We have more compromises, but less time. 
We have more knowledge, but less judgement. 
We have more medicines, but less health.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. 
We talk much, we love only a little, and we hate too much.

We reached the moon and came back, but we find it troublesome to cross our own street and meet our neighbors. 
We have conquered the outer space, but not our inner space.

We have higher income, but less morals… 
These are times with more liberty, but less joy… 
With much more food, but less nutrition…

These are days in which two salaries come home, but divorces increase. 
These are times of finer houses, but more broken homes.
