我們的社會生病了

現代人生活空洞，雖然城市高速發展，現代化給我們帶來很多便利和享受，但人類心靈世界的進步，似乎跟不上時代的節奏。

我們擁有一百多層高的建築物，四通百達的道路網，四線行車寬闊的高速公路，但我們眼光仍然是如此短小狹窄，眼界仍然是如此的低。

我們付出了很多，但收穫得很少，我們購買了很多，卻享受得很少，我們擁有更大的房子，卻只有小的胸襟，更多的方便，換來的只有不夠用的時間。

我們有越來越多的學位，但常識貧乏，泛濫的資訊，卻缺少理智的判斷，更多的專家，卻有越來越多的問題，更多的新藥物，健康卻越來越差。 

我們飲酒太多，抽煙太多，花錢太多，開車太快，生氣太快，熬夜太晚，起身太累，看手機太多，但書讀得太少，笑得太少，禱告太少。 

我們不斷聚斂財富，卻出賣了良心，我們話說得太多，卻經常不接納別人。 

我們學會了如何謀生，卻不懂得生活，我們征服了太空，可以由地球瞬間去到月球，但和住在隔壁的鄰居，卻似乎有千里遙遠的隔膜。

我們清潔了環境，卻污染了靈魂，我們征服了中子原子，但去除不了對人的偏見，我們計劃多多，完成的卻很少。我們學會追趕時間，卻沒學會耐心等待。我們生產更多的電腦科技，存儲更多的信息，但我們溝通越來越少。 

快餐食品，換來消化不良，外面是大男人，內裡是小人，收入增加，結果是更多的離婚，更華麗的房屋，但破碎的家庭。

甚麼都要快，有了飛機，可以短線快速旅遊，早機去晚機返，一次性用的尿布，一次過的隱形眼鏡，一次性用的道德，換來一夜情。

記得多不一定是好，生活得簡單一些，花時間與你的親人在一起，因為他們不會永遠在你身旁。 

記住熱情擁抱你身邊的人，因為它不花你一分錢，擁抱可以彌補傷害，特別當它來自你的內心深處。 

記住珍惜當下的每一天，因為這天不會再存在，記住生命不是由我們呼吸的次數來衡量，而是那些讓我們心動的每一刻。 

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 and 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. 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.
