Guest guest Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 Modern Day Mentality – Ignorance and Foolishness We have bigger houses, but no room for our parents. We build though houses, but live in broken homes (single parent families). We are quick to start a relationship, but also quick to end it (divorce). We have more conveniences, but still less time. We have more degrees, but less common sense. We have more knowledge, but less judgment. We are more expert at solving problems, but we create more problems, We have more medicine, but less health (millions dying from cancer, AIDS, heart disease). We have time for parties, but not for friends. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life, but not life to years. We conquered outer space, but not inner space (who we are). We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We live on fast foods, but have slow digestion. We have big men, but small character. 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 multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We have disposable diapers, but throwaway morality. We don’t eat rotten food, but have a rotten nature. We have high income, but no money for charity. We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We have high tech ways to communicate (email, video phone etc..), but still can’t get through to each other (quarrels and fights). We think of God when we are in need, but not when he supplies. We blame God when we suffer, but don’t thank him when we don’t. We plan and prepare for the retirement years which is at most 30 years, but not for the years after this life (millions). We have too much, but give too little. We don’t need to kill to live, but still kill (meat eating). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
