Take time to ...

The paradox of our time is that we have high buildings, but low tolerance, wide highways, but narrow views.
We spend more, but we have less, we buy more, but we enjoy less. We have large houses, but smaller families, better amenities, but less time. We have a better education, but less intelligence, better knowledge, but we assess the situation worse, we have more experts, but also more problems, better medicine, but worse health.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too irresponsibly laugh too little, drive too fast, get angry too easy, go to bed too late, wake up too tired, read too little, watch too much TV and pray too rarely. Increased their claims, but reduced their values.
We talk too much, love too rarely and hate too often. We know how to survive, but we don’t know how to live. Add years to human life, but don't add life to years.
They reached the moon and returned, but we barely cross the street and get acquainted with a new neighbor. We conquer outer space, but not spiritual. We do great, but not the best things.
We purify the air, but pollute the soul.
Subjugated the atom, but not their prejudices.
We write more, but learn less.
We plan more, but achieve less.
Learned to rush, but not wait.
We create new computers that store more information and spew out streams of copies than before, but communicate less and less.
This is a time of fast food and poor digestion, big people and small souls, quick profits and difficult relationships. The time of growth of family incomes and growth in the number of divorces, beautiful houses and destroyed homes.
Time for short distances, disposable diapers, one-off morale, ties for one night; excess weight and pills that do everything: excite us, calm us, kill us. Time of filled showcases and empty warehouses.
The time when technology allows this letter to reach you, at the same time allows you to share it or simply click "Delete".
Remember, devote more time to those you love, because they are not with you forever.
Remember and warmly hold a loved one close to you, because this is the only treasure that you can give from your heart, and it does not cost a penny.
Remember and say “love you” to your loved ones, but first really feel it.
A kiss and a hug can correct any trouble when they come from the heart.
Remember and hold hands and appreciate the moments when you are together, because one day this person will not be near you.
Find time for love, find time for communication and find time for the opportunity to share everything you have to say. Because life is measured not by the number of inspirations, but by the moments when it is breathtaking!
