Paradox of our Times
Inspired by His Holiness The Dalai Lama
We take pride in ourselves but imitate others
We have more opinions but less tolerance
We have free speech but captive hearing
We have more experts but less solutions
We plan more but implement less
We debate more but do less
We’ve conquered space but not our prejudices
We want peace but go to war
We defend God more but pray less
We preach equality but discriminate more
We are united by hatred but divided by love
We have great wealth but even more poverty
We have higher degrees but lower intelligence
We have greater comforts but lesser satisfaction
We have more convenience but less time
We have bigger houses but smaller homes
We earn more but give less
We produce more yet more remain hungry
We have better medicines but poorer health
We have more options but lesser communication
We have more friends but less friendships
We want a change but don’t want to change
This is the paradox of our times.
