Lee's Funnies

                                                     

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 and smaller families; more 
conveniences, but less time; we have more degrees, but less 
sense; more knowledge, but less judgment; 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'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 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 the times of tall men, and short character; steep 
profits, and shallow relationships. These are the 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; of fancier houses, but 
broken homes.

It is a time when there is much in the show 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 
make a difference, or to just hit delete ...
