The paradoxes of today
Here are some thought-provoking statements

We produce more food, but more people are hungry.
We have more knowledge but less education.
Wealth is increasing, but people are becoming poorer.
We know a lot of people, but we have few friends.
We know how to make a living, but we don't know how to live a life.
Our governments want peace, but they sell weapons.
We have more leisure time, but we are less happy.
We know how to succeed in life, but we don't know how to make our life a success.
We earn more, we spend more, and we share less.
We are building bigger houses, but families are smaller.
The more doctors we have, the sicker people are.
We are extending life expectancy, and we are demanding euthanasia.
The more specialists there are, the more problems and the fewer solutions.
The more communication channels we have, the less we talk to each other.
In the past, a house would see several generations; today, a generation sees several houses.
In a single day, we cross a continent; in a lifetime, we barely manage to cross the street to get to know our neighbor.

Have a good day
