The Paradox of our age

Recently, we had been to Himachal and the trip was no doubt greeeaaat....wish I had the time to write about it. During our visit to Dharamshala, while strolling on the streets and shops around this hilly market, we came across a shop which had cards & wall hangings with words of wisdom and kindness from H.H. The Dalai Lama.. good insights on the ways to look at human emotions & various aspects of life...putting just one of them here.
We can certainly relate to the following thoughts , just apt to describe the kind of life we're living now..

The Paradox of our age -

"We have bigger houses but smaller families;
more conveniences, but less time.
We have more degrees but less sense;
more knowledge but less judgement;
more medicines but less healthiness.
We’ve been all the way to the moon and back,but have trouble in crossing the street to meet the new neighbours.
We have built more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever,but we have less communication;
We have become long on quantity,but short on quality.
These are times of fast foods but slow digestion;
Tall man but short character;
Steep profits but shallow relationships.
It is a time when there is much in the window, but nothing in the room."
- H.H. The 14th Dalai Lama
