Where Are We Heading
中国英语学习网   更新时间:2007-06-12
  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, but more problems; more medicine, but less wellness.

  We drink too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry too quickly, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

  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 done larger things, but not better things.

  We’ve cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul; we’ve split 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 have higher incomes, but, lower morals.

  We build more computers to hold more information to produce more copies than ever, but have less communication; we’ve become long on quantity, but short on quality.

  These are the days of two incomes, but more divorce; of fancier houses, but more broken homes.

  These are the days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throw away morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. Where are we heading...?

  If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days. But the family we left behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.

  And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than to our family an unwise investment indeed.

  So what is the morale of the story???

  Don’t work too hard... and you know what’s the full word of family?

  FAMILY = (F)ATHER (A)ND (M)OTHER, (I) (L)OVE (Y)OU.
