Beautiful message from George Carlin - How True

 

This is a master piece. If you have not read it take the time to read it now.

If you have read it take time to read it again!

GEORGE CARLIN (His wife recently died...)

 

Isn't it amazing that George Carlin - comedian of the 70's and 80's - could

write something so very eloquent...and so very appropriate.

 

A Message by George Carlin:

 

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, smoke 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 neighbor. 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, throwaway 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; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be

around forever.

 

Remember, 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. An embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.

 

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday 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 number of breaths we take, but by the moments that

take our breath away.

 

If you don't send this to other people....Who cares?
