Think It Over
佚名/Anonymous
今天的我們,有了更高的建築、更寬的公路,性情卻更急躁,眼界也更狹窄;
我們的花費更多,享受卻更少了;
我們的房子大了,家卻更小了;
我們有了更多的妥協,時間卻更少了;
我們的知識更多了,判斷力卻日漸下降;
我們的藥品日益豐富,健康卻不盡如人意;
我們的財富不斷累積,但價值慢慢縮減;
我們說的更多,愛的卻少了,仇恨也更多了;
我們能往返月球,卻發現穿梭於街道與鄰居接觸是那麽難;
我們征服了外太空,卻征服不了我們的心;
我們的收入多了,道德意識卻少了;
這是一個自由的時代,但能享受的快樂少了;
我們有了更多的食物,營養卻少了;
如今每個家庭都有雙份薪水,離婚率也越來越高;
如今的住房越來越高檔,破碎的家庭也越來越多。
這就是我要說的,讓我們從今天開始的原因。
Today we have higher buildings and wider highways, but shorter temperaments and narrower points of view;
We spend more, but enjoy less;
We have bigger houses, but smaller families;
We have more compromises, but less time;
We have more knowledge, but less judgment;
We have more medicines, but less health;
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values;
We talk much, we love only a little, and we hate too much;
We reached the Moon and came back, but we find it troublesome to cross our own street and meet our neighbors;
We have conquered the outer space, but not our inner space;
We have higher income, but less morals;
These are times with more liberty, but less joy;
We have much more food, but less nutrition;
These are the days in which it takes two salaries for each home, but divorces increase;
