the paradox of our time

"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.

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."

我一整天都很不开心。我出去，见人，以为见很多人就可以开心一点。我回到家，以为睡一觉起来一切都是新的开始，却怎样也睡不着。我开电脑，听cagnet，我的悠长假期还没有结束，我的世纪没有恋爱。我开illustrator，我做工。感谢天我还有工作。我要更多更多工作还有很多很多的钱。我玩电话锄大地，情场失意，赌场得意。我吃面包，吃面包搽kaya。我不说出来，以为不说出来就好像没有发生。说了出来，才发现有人和我一起咒人很爽。可是，可是我到底还是想你过得好一点。

然后我看见nb让我读了很开心的留言，然后进到她的bollock重读句句都是经典的the paradox of our time。

然而就像sb说的，我太死心眼了。我还要死多久，才甘愿醒过来呢。而你，为什么不死掉算了。（石欣卉唱，“你的存在... 让我更寂寞。” 我其实很开心你还活着。可是，可是为什么你那个时候不死掉算了。）（真的，真的不要得罪女人。）

我什么都没有。我也好像有很多。有，有一天就会没有；没有，有一天会有。没有的时候我想要有，有的时候我害怕没有。没有的时候，有一点点，就会拼死命地用力地紧握，结果就连仅有的一点点也捏碎了，变回没有。那么，那么我们到底要怎样呢。

真的，yy你好自为之，你有一个死蠢加变态partner，我很可怜你。
