A Message by George Carlin

[SuperDave71]

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.

If you don't send this to at least 8 people....Who
cares?

I do like George Carlin stuff:

This is one I found particularly amusing:

"Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity."



Tee hee!

He was a great man, we need more like him...
