Wednesday, June 11, 2008 A Message Worth Repeating... 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 w ay 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 the 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. A kiss and 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.

od zagonnetna » Ned Jan 08, 2012 11:19 am Paradoks našeg vremena je da gradimo sve više zgrade, no nižeg smo praga tolerancije, autoceste su šire, a pogledi na svijet su uži. Trošimo više, a imamo manje, kupujemo više, a manje uživamo. Imamo veće kuće, a manje obitelji. Sve je podređeno uštedi vremena, a vremena imamo sve manje. Imamo veće obrazovanje (titule), a manje smisla, više znanja, a manje pravilno prosuđujemo, više stručnjaka, a više problema, više medicine, a manje zdravlja... Pijemo previše, pušimo previše, nerazumno trošimo novac, smijemo se premalo, vozimo prebrzo, previše se ljutimo, prekasno liježemo, preumorni se ustajemo, čitamo premalo, previše gledamo TV, rijetko se molimo. Umnožili smo stvari koje posjedujemo, ali smo smanjili vlastite vrijednosti. Previše pričamo, rijetko volimo i prečesto mrzimo. Umnožili smo stvari koje posjedujemo, ali smo smanjili vlastite vrijednosti. Previše pričamo, rijetko volimo i prečesto mrzimo. Naučili smo kako zaraditi za život, ali ne i kako živjeti. Dodali smo godine životu, ali ne i život godinama. Bili smo na Mjesecu i natrag, ali imamo problem upoznati svog susjeda. Osvajamo Svemir, a borimo se sa neistraženim „Svemirom“ u sebi. Napravili smo velike stvari, ali ne i dobre. Bavimo se pročišćavanjem zraka, a ne duše. Pišemo više, a učimo manje. Planiramo više, a postižemo manje. Naučili smo žuriti, ali ne kako strpljivo čekati. Stvorili smo kompjutere u koje pohranjujemo sve više informacija, da čine sve više kopija, a sve manje i manje komuniciramo. Ovo su vremena brze hrane, i spore probave, velikih ljudi i sitnih duša, naglih obogaćivanja i šupljih veza među ljudima. Ovo su vremena dviju plaća u obitelji, a više razvoda, ljepših i većih, ali razorenih kuća. Ovo su vremena pelena koje se bacaju, veza za jednu noć, pretilnih tijela, tableta koje čine „čuda“ od veselja do smirenja i na kraju smrti. Ovo su vremena kada je život u „izlogu“ a „skladišta“ su prazna. Sjetite se provoditi vrijeme s ljudima koje volite, jer neće zauvijek biti tu. Sjetite se reći lijepu riječ, toplo zagrliti ljude koje volite, jer jedino blago koje možete dati je Vaše srce, a to se ne košta ništa. Sjetite se reći VOLIM TE ako to stvarno osjećate. Sjetite se pomoliti, naći mir u sebi, i pomozite onima koji ga traže.
