A Message by George Carlin:
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.
Public hol today, good day to catch up homework! I miss TK ): how I wish that MJ was TK where there's all the fun nice irritating bitchy TK people to be with and laugh and be stupid and be idiotic and not be stared at weirdly by others. I really miss TK. Especially the teachers there. They bother about you... They care for you... and they dont make you stand when you dont do your homework and they dont give you homework that they know you'll never be able to complete so you wouldnt have to stand. They teach you properly and they dont rush through lessons or lectures just because they feel like it. They listen to students feedback and pace their lesson for us. I want them back. I want want want. TK, I <3<3<3<3<3 YOU !!!! We'll all be going down to TK soon(: Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy(:(:(: Tk! Tksians love you!
