We have bigger houses, but smaller families.
More conveniences, but less time.
We have more knowledge, but less judgements;
more experts but more problems;
more medicines but less health.
We have been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbour.
We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but have less communication.
We have become long on quantity but shot on quality.
These are times of fast foods, but slow digestion;
tall men but short character;
steep profits but shallow relationsihps.
It is a time
When there is much in the window, but nothing in the room.
--The Dalai Lama
