Buddhism 🪔

THE PARADOX OF OUR AGE

We have bigger houses but smaller families, more conveniences but less time,

And more degrees.

But less sense; more knowledge, but less judgement; more experts, but more problems; more medicines, but less healthiness;

We’ve been to the moon and back but have trouble crossing the street to come across

The new neighbour.

We built more computers to hold more information to produce more copies than ever,

We have become long on quantity,

But short on quality.

But have less communication;

These are times of fast food,

Tall men but short character;

But slow digestion;

Steep profits but shallow relationships.

It’s a time when there is much in the window but nothing in the room.

…His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
