The paradox(似是而非的論點) of our time in history is that we have taller buildings, but shoter tempers; wider freeways,but narrower viewpoints; we spend more, but have less, we buy more but enjoy it less. We have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, but less time; we have more degrees, but less sense; more knowledge, but less judgment; more experts, but more problems; more medicine, but less wellness.We drink too much, speed too recklessly, lough too little, drive too fast, get too angry too quickly, stay up too late, get up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pay too seldom.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, not life to years.We’ve been all the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor; We’ve conquered outer space, but not inner space; We’ve done larger things, but not better things.We’ve been all the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor; We’ve conquered outer space, but not inner space; We’ve done larger things, but not better things.We’ve cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul; we’ve split the atom, but not our prejudice; We write more, but learn less, we plan more, but accomplish less.We’ve learned to rush, but not to wait; we have higher incomes, but lower morals.
WHERE ARE WE HEADING? 我們將走向何方?
The paradox(似是而非的論點) of our time in history is that we have taller buildings, but shoter tempers; wider freeways,but narrower viewpoints; we spend more, but have less, we buy more but enjoy it less.
我們這個時代在歷史上總是似是而非,我們擁有更高的建筑,但是有更火爆的脾氣,我們擁有更寬闊的高速公路,卻有更狹隘的觀點;我們花費的更多,收獲得卻更少,我們購買得更多,享受得卻更少。
We have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, but less time; we have more degrees, but less sense; more knowledge, but less judgment; more experts, but more problems; more medicine, but less wellness.
我們的房子越來越大,家庭卻越來越小;便利越來越多,時間卻越來越不夠用,我們擁有的學位越來越多,智慧卻越來越貧乏;知識越來越多,判斷力卻越來越差;專家越來越多,問題也越來越多;藥物越來越多,健康卻越來越少。
We drink too much, speed too recklessly, lough too little, drive too fast, get too angry too quickly, stay up too late, get up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pay too seldom.
我們喝得太多,花錢大手大腳,笑得太少,開車太快,易怒,熬夜,懶床,書讀得越來越少,電視看得越來越多,卻很少向上帝祈禱。
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, not life to years.
