Love and Love alone...

 

Received the following (bitter truth), which I wish to share with

you all. Kindly bear with me.

 

Love and Love alone....

MY INNER THOUGHTS:

 

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, yet more problems, more medicine, but less

wellness.

 

 

We drink too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too

fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too

little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

 

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 a new neighbour.

 

We 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 conquered 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 build more computers to hold more information, to produce more

copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

 

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and

small character, steep profits and shallow relationships.

 

These are the days of two incomes but more divorce,

fancier houses, but broken homes.

 

These are 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.

 

It is a time when there is much in the showroom 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 share this insight, or to just hit delete.

 

Remember to spend some time with your loved ones, because they are

not going to be around forever.

 

Remember to say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe,

because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

 

Remember to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is

the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a

cent.

 

Remember to say, " I love you " to your partner and your loved ones,

but most of all mean it. A kind embrace will mend hurt when it comes

from deep inside of you.

 

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment, for, one-day that

person will not be there again.

 

 

Give time to love, give time to speak!

And

give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

 

 

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER

 

 

Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that

take our breath away.
