You may know that something is beautiful, but can you
feel its beauty.

A clever man once said....


THE PARADOX OF OUR AGE

By the Dalai Lama


We have bigger houses but smaller families;
more conveniences, but less time.
We have more degrees, but less sense;
more knowledge, but less judgement;

more experts, but more problems;
more medicines, but less healthiness.
We’ve been all the way to the moon and back,
but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbour.

We build more computers
to hold more information,
to produce more copies then ever,
but have less communication.

We have become long on quantity,
but short on quality.
These are times of fast foods,
but slow digestion;

Tall men but short character;
Steep profits but shallow relationships.
It’s a time when there is much in the window,
but nothing in the room.
