Today, we have bigger houses and smaller families;

More conveniences, but less time;

We have more degrees, but less common sense;

More knowledge, but less judgment.

We have more experts, but more problems; more medicine, but less wellness.

We spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast,
![Page 8: Paradox of Our Times Today, we have bigger houses and smaller families;](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649cf15503460f949c0465/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
get to angry too quickly, stay up too late, get up too tired,
![Page 9: Paradox of Our Times Today, we have bigger houses and smaller families;](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649cf15503460f949c0465/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Read too little, watch TV too often, and pray too seldom.
![Page 10: Paradox of Our Times Today, we have bigger houses and smaller families;](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649cf15503460f949c0465/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values.
![Page 11: Paradox of Our Times Today, we have bigger houses and smaller families;](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649cf15503460f949c0465/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
We talk too much, love too little and lie too often.
![Page 12: Paradox of Our Times Today, we have bigger houses and smaller families;](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649cf15503460f949c0465/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
We've learned how to make a living, but not a life;
![Page 13: Paradox of Our Times Today, we have bigger houses and smaller families;](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649cf15503460f949c0465/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
We've added years to life, not life to years.
![Page 14: Paradox of Our Times Today, we have bigger houses and smaller families;](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649cf15503460f949c0465/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
We have taller buildings, but shorter tempers;
![Page 15: Paradox of Our Times Today, we have bigger houses and smaller families;](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649cf15503460f949c0465/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints.
![Page 16: Paradox of Our Times Today, we have bigger houses and smaller families;](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649cf15503460f949c0465/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
We spend more, but have less; we buy more, but enjoy it less.

We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new
neighbor.
![Page 18: Paradox of Our Times Today, we have bigger houses and smaller families;](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649cf15503460f949c0465/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
We've conquered outer space, but not inner space.
![Page 19: Paradox of Our Times Today, we have bigger houses and smaller families;](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649cf15503460f949c0465/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
We've split the atom, but not our prejudice;
![Page 20: Paradox of Our Times Today, we have bigger houses and smaller families;](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649cf15503460f949c0465/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
We write more, but learn less; plan more, but accomplish less.
![Page 21: Paradox of Our Times Today, we have bigger houses and smaller families;](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649cf15503460f949c0465/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
We've learned to rush, but not to wait;
![Page 22: Paradox of Our Times Today, we have bigger houses and smaller families;](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649cf15503460f949c0465/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
We have higher incomes, but lower morals.
![Page 23: Paradox of Our Times Today, we have bigger houses and smaller families;](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649cf15503460f949c0465/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies,
but have less communication.
![Page 24: Paradox of Our Times Today, we have bigger houses and smaller families;](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649cf15503460f949c0465/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
We are long on quantity, but short on quality.
![Page 25: Paradox of Our Times Today, we have bigger houses and smaller families;](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649cf15503460f949c0465/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion; tall men and short character;
steep profits and shallow relationships.
![Page 26: Paradox of Our Times Today, we have bigger houses and smaller families;](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649cf15503460f949c0465/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
More leisure and less fun; More kinds of food, but less
nutrition;
![Page 27: Paradox of Our Times Today, we have bigger houses and smaller families;](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649cf15503460f949c0465/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Two incomes, but more divorce; Fancier houses, but broken homes.
![Page 28: Paradox of Our Times Today, we have bigger houses and smaller families;](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649cf15503460f949c0465/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
This is the paradox of our times today.
![Page 29: Paradox of Our Times Today, we have bigger houses and smaller families;](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649cf15503460f949c0465/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
That's why I propose, that as of today, you do not keep anything for a special occasion, because every day that you
live is a special occasion.
![Page 30: Paradox of Our Times Today, we have bigger houses and smaller families;](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649cf15503460f949c0465/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Search for knowledge, read more, sit on your front porch and admire the view without paying attention to your needs.
![Page 31: Paradox of Our Times Today, we have bigger houses and smaller families;](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649cf15503460f949c0465/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Spend more time with your family and friends, eat your favorite foods,
and visit the places you love.
![Page 32: Paradox of Our Times Today, we have bigger houses and smaller families;](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649cf15503460f949c0465/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Life is a chain of moment of enjoyment, not only about survival.
![Page 33: Paradox of Our Times Today, we have bigger houses and smaller families;](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649cf15503460f949c0465/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Use your crystal goblets. Do not save your best perfume, and use it every time you feel
you want it.
![Page 34: Paradox of Our Times Today, we have bigger houses and smaller families;](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649cf15503460f949c0465/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Remove from your vocabulary phrases like "one of these days" and "someday".
Let's write that letter we thought of writing "one of these days".
![Page 35: Paradox of Our Times Today, we have bigger houses and smaller families;](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649cf15503460f949c0465/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Let's tell our families and friends how much we love them.
![Page 36: Paradox of Our Times Today, we have bigger houses and smaller families;](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649cf15503460f949c0465/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Do not delay anything that adds laughter and joy to your life.
![Page 37: Paradox of Our Times Today, we have bigger houses and smaller families;](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649cf15503460f949c0465/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Every day, every hour, and every minute is special.
And you don't know if it will be your last.
![Page 38: Paradox of Our Times Today, we have bigger houses and smaller families;](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649cf15503460f949c0465/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
If you’re too busy to take the time to send this message
to someone you care, and you tell yourself you will send it
“one of these days“, just think …
“one of these days“you may not be here to send it!
