Something To Ponder
Take a little time to think
SomethingTo Ponder ~ George Carlin
“The paradox of our timein history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, widerFreeways, 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 lessjudgment, 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 toolittle, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.
We have multiplied ourpossessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, andhate too often.
We’ve learned how to makea living, but not a life. We’ve added years to life not life to years. We’vebeen all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street tomeet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We’ve donelarger things, but not better things.
We’ve cleaned up the air,but polluted the soul. We’ve conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. Wewrite more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We’ve learned torush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, toproduce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.
These are the times offast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits andshallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce,fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposablediapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pillsthat do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there ismuch in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time whentechnology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose eitherto share this insight, or to just hit delete.
Remember to spend sometime with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.
Remember, say a kind wordto someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon willgrow up and leave your side.
Remember, to give a warmhug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give withyour heart and it doesn’t cost a cent.
Remember, to say, ‘I loveyou’ to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss andan embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.
Remember to hold handsand cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.
Give time to love, givetime to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.
And always remember, lifeis not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by those moments thattake our breath away.”
~ George Carlin

“Ifyour kid needs a role model and you ain't it, you're both fucked.”
"Everyone appreciates your honesty, untilyou're honest with them, then you're an asshole."
“Life is really simple, but we insist on making itcomplicated.”
“Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making otherplans.”
