| "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 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, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.
We
drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little,
drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read
too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.
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 not life to years.
We've
been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the
street to meet a new neighbor. We 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 conquered 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 build more
computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever,
but we communicate less and less. These are the times of fast foods and
slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow
relationships.
These are the days of two incomes but more
divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick
trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands,
overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet,
to kill.
It is a time when there is much in the showroom
window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring
this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this
insight, or to just hit delete...
Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.
Remember,
say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that
little person soon will grow up and leave your side.
Remember,
to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only
treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.
Remember,
to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most of
all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from
deep inside of you.
Remember to hold hands and cherish the
moment for someday that person will not be there again. Give time to
love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts
in your mind.
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER: Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away." | | |

| There is no such thing as a compatible couple. All couples disagree
about the same things: money, sex, kids, time. So, it's really about
how you manage your differences. If there is chemistry, then the whole
courtship is about convincing yourself and others that you are
compatible. But, really, you create compatibility. And then,
eventually, maybe in 25 years, you will become soul mates. —Diane Sollee, founder and director, Coalition for Marriage, Family and Couples Education | | |
