Essay About Less Time And Bigger Houses

Thoughts
Essay title: Thoughts
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

We conquered outer space but not inner space. Weve
Done larger things, but not better things.
Weve cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul.
Weve conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We
Write more, but learn less. We plan more, but
Accomplish less. Weve 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
