STORY :Where are we heading ?  PAGES 1-12   35MIN

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 it less.

We have bigger houses and smaller family more conveniences but less time we have more degrees but less sense more knowledge but less judgment more experts but more problems more medicine but less wellness.

We drink too much ,spend too recklessly ,laugh too little ,drive too fast, get too angry too quickly, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life

We've learned to rush, but not to wait we have higher incomes, but, lower morals.

We build more computers to hold more information to produce more copies than ever, but have less communication; We've become long on quantity, but short on quality.

These are the days of two incomes, but more divorce of fancier houses, but broken homes.

These are the days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throw away morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. Where are we heading?
