Paradoxes of Our Times

Nowadays…
We have bigger houses and smaller families;
We have more conveniences, but less time;
We have more degrees, but less common sense;
We have more knowledge, but less judgment;
We have more experts, but more problems;
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values.
We talk too much, love too little and lie 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 spend more, but have less; we buy more, but enjoy it less.
We've been all the way to the moon and back,
.......but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor.
We've conquered outer space, but not inner space.
We've learned to rush, but not to wait;
We have higher incomes, but lower morals.
We spend too recklessly, laugh too little,
.......drive too fast, get angry too quickly,
.......stay up too late, get up too tired,
.......read too little, watch TV too often,
.......and pray too seldom.

The picture might seem dark!
But…
While running around through life,
let’s open our eyes, let’s open our heart.

There is a new perspective…
It’s never too late to start Being, Loving, Living!

One word has to be set here to describe your post today:

P.E.R.F.E.C.T.

I have read it more than 10 times. It should be published! It should be studied! It exploded images and wild thoughts in my mind. It explored the unexplored and widened the narrow and straightened the curved!

The luminous Truthfulness in ever spec mentioned here, makes what I am reading a master piece of writing .. a genuine essay.

It is not a dark image my dear friend.
It is the Face Unmasked.
It is the Party Unmasquraded.
It is the Life Unveiled!!

As we roll on with the enrollment of the life's wheel, we are touched by many changes. Such changes are not meant to Perfect out world; on the very contrary, it is like you have finished a level, and you are procedding on to another Upper level, of course there are many who are stuck in their own levels, and others who are regressing into Lower levels. It is like a video-game. The levels include many new challenges, and many new quandaries. The dilemma here is that, you have passed many levels: so, you are becoming an expert. Thus, using your expertise to master the new levels is a Must. This new fact, asks for an Upgrade in the degree of the problems and tricks. You are becoming more of a professional, and this means you need little time to adjust to the circumstances. Here comes the Challenge: Would you succeed or fail??
