Today we have higher buildings and wider highways,
...but shorter temperaments and narrower points of view
We spend more, ...but enjoy less.
We have bigger houses, ...but smaller families
We have more compromises, ...but less time.
We have more knowledge, ...but less judgement
We have more medicines, ...but less health.
We have multiplied our possessions, ...but reduced our values
We talk much, we love only a little, ...and we hate too much.
We reached the Moon and came back, ...but we find troublesome to cross our own street and meet our neighbors.
We have conquered the outer space, ...but not our inner space.
We have higher income, ...but less morals
These are times with more liberty, ...but less joy
These are days in which two salaries get home, ...but divorces increase.
These are times of finer houses, ...but more broken homes.
