Gain the world, loose your soul.........   Author:  30742  Category:(Poetry) Created:(10/24/2003 9:40:00 PM) This post has been Viewed (495 times) we have taller buildings,but shorter tempers; wider freeways,but narrower viewpoints; we spend more, but have less; we buy more,but enjoy it less. We have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, but less time; we have more degrees, but less sense; more knowledge, but less judgement; more experts, but more problems; more medicine, but less wellness. 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, but not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet our new neighbor. We've conquered outer space, but not inner space; we've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul; we've split the atom, but not our prejudice. We have higher incomes, but lower morals; we've become long on quantity, but short on quality. These are the times of tall men, and short character; steep profits, and shallow relationships. more leisure, but less fun; more kinds of food, but less nutrition. These are the days of two incomes, but more divorce; of fancier houses, but broken homes. Jesus Christ once said: What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfits his soul?
