A Precious Human Life
We have bigger houses, but smaller families; more conveniences, but
less time.
We have more degrees but less sense; more knowledge, but less
judgements; 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 neighbour.
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 man, but short
of character; steep profits but shallow relationships.
It is time when is much in the window but nothing in the room.
His Holiness the XIVth Dalai Lama
