We think our younger
generation never notices anything,
but in truth, they notice more than we as adults do,
and they notice and understand more than what we want
to admit they do...
A Columbine student wrote this very compelling piece:
"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
it less.
We have bigger houses, but smaller families;
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, but not life to years.
We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble
crossing the street to meet the new neighbor.
We have higher incomes. But lower morals;
These are the times of
tall men and short character;
steep profits and
shallow relationships.
These are the times of
world peace, but domestic warfare;
more leisure, but less
fun;
These are the days of
two incomes, but more divorce;
of fancier houses, but
broken homes.
a time when technology
can bring this letter to you,
and a time when you can
choose either to make a difference
or just forget you ever
read it.
