"The paradox of our time is that we have high buildings, but low tolerance, wide roads, but narrow views.
We spend more, but we have less, we buy more, but we enjoy less.
We have big houses, but smaller families, better amenities, but less time.
We have a better education, but less intelligence, better knowledge, but we are worse in assessing the situation, we have more experts, but also more problems, better medicine, but worse health.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too much irresponsible, laugh too little, drive too fast, get angry too easily, go to bed too late, wake up too tired, read too little, watch too much TV and pray too seldom.
They increased their claims, but reduced their values.
We speak too much, love too seldom and hate too often. We know how to survive, but we do not know how to live. We add years to human life, but do not add life to the years.
They reached the Moon and returned, but we hardly cross the street and get acquainted with a new neighbor.
We conquer outer space, but not spiritual.
We are doing big, but not the best things.
We purify the air, but we pollute the soul.
They subordinated to themselves an atom, but not their own prejudices.
We write more, but we learn less.
We plan more, but we achieve less.
We learned to hurry, but do not wait.
We create new computers that store more information and spew the streams of copies than before, but we communicate less and less.
This time of fast food and bad digestion, big people and small souls, quick profits and difficult relationships.
Time of growth of family incomes and growth of number of divorces, beautiful houses and the destroyed house centers.
Time of short distances, disposable diapers, one-time morals, connections for one night; Excess weight and tablets, which all do: excite us, calm us, kill us.
Time filled show-cases and empty warehouses.
The time when technology allows this letter to get to you, at the same time allow you to share it or just press "Delete".
Remember, pay more time to those you love, because they are not with you forever.
Remember and hotly press a loved one to yourself, because this is the only treasure that you can give from the heart, and it does not cost a penny.
Remember and say "I love you" to your loved ones, but first really feel it.
A kiss and a hug can correct any trouble when coming from the heart.
Remember and hold hands and appreciate the moments when you are together, because one day this person will not be near you.
Take time for love, take time to socialize and take the time to share everything you have to say.
Because life is measured not by the number of breaths-exhalations, but by moments when it captures the spirit! "
