Fast paced world

We live in a fast-paced interconnected world very different from the world we grew up in. We reflect back on the days of our youth and realize that though much has changed, much remains the same. We spend more but we have less. We have bigger houses but smaller families. We have more conveniences but less time. More acquaintances but fewer friends; more knowledge but less judgement; more medicine but less wellness; smarter computers and phones but less communication. We learned how to make a living but not a life; plan more but accomplish less. We've learned to rush but not to wait. We've been to the moon but we have trouble crossing the street to meet our neighbors. We spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get angry too quickly, get up too tired, watch too much TV, feel too pressured and pray too little. Let us all look at our lives and do better.
