Scriffles: Dalai Lama. The Paradox of Our Age.

We have bigger house but smaller families;

We have more degrees, but less sense;

more knowledge, but less judgement;

more experts, but more problems;

more medicines, but less healthiness.

We have been all the way to the moon and back,

but have trouble crossing the street to meet

the new neighbour.

We built more computers to hold more 

information to produce more

copies than ever; 

but have less communication.

We have become long on quantity,

but short on quality.

These are times of fast foods,

but slow digestion;

tall man but short character;

steep profits but shallow relationships.

It's a time when there is much in the window, 

but nothing in the room.
