The paradox in our life is that
we have more high rise building, but are short in patience
wider expressways, but narrower perspective
we buy more, but have less
we spend more, but enjoy less
we have bigger houses with smaller families,
more comfortable, but with lesser time
we have more degree, but less logic
more knowledge, but less value
more experts, but more problems
more medicne, but less health
we drink and smoke too much
spend time heedlessly
laugh too little, drive too fast
a lot of anger, sleep too late
wake up tired, read too little
watch too much TV, pray too rarely
We have multiplied our things, but diminish our value
we talk too much, and love less, and more hatred
we learn how to earn money, but not life
we have had more years in our life,
but not the life in those years
we have reached the moon,
but have difficulties in crossing the road,
and meeting a new neighbour
we have beaten the space, but not our inner
we have do big things, but not better one
we have clean the air, but pollute our heart
we have defeat atoms, but not discrimination
we have writen more things, but learn less
we plan more, but acheive less
we have learn how to rush, but not to wait
we make more computer to store more information,
have more fotocopy,
but communicate less
this is the era of fast food and slower digestion
great people with weak character,
high profit and weak relationship
this is the era where there is two incomes, but more divorce
more luxurious home, but broken family
this is the era where the journey is shorter,
one time use diaper, easy to throw morality,
one night relationship, excessive weight,
and pills that do everything from calming down to killing
Remember...
spend more time with the loved one,
for they won't be here forever
Remember...
say good words to your kids,
for they are going to grow and leave you
Remember...
give a warm hugs to people around you
coz that is one of few things that can be given with heart and without money
Remember...
to say "I love u"
for your love one,
kiss and hug can cure the wound,
when it is done from the bottom of the heart
Remember...
hold each other hand and enjoy the moment,
for one day he or she will no longer be here
give time to love
give time to talk
and give time
to share what is in your mind
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:
life is not measured by the number of our breaths
but by how we spend it.
***
I am quite agree to this, but not all though,
However, I believe we do need to sit back and relfect upon our life,
what have we done? Have we done the right things?
What is the most important things in life?
And so forth.
Life is short.. In a moment, one year, two years, 10 years will soon pass..
If we don't use it well, than that's it.. we can't turn back time.
