AND ALWAYS REMEMBER

This article is worth a reading Please spare a few minutes of your

 precious time¦.. 

George Carlin, comedian of the 70s and 80s whose wife recently passed

 away, wrote the following eloquent and appropriate piece on our times: 

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.

AND ALWAYS

REMEMBER: 

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the

 moments that take our breath away.
