More Vs. Less

We have more things to do, but no time to do them. We are doing more than one thing at a time, but we are getting nothing done.

We have everything- nice homes, nice cars, but we keep searching for happiness.

Why?

Here is the answer:

According to His Holiness the 14th 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 built more computers to hold more information to produce more copies than 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 man but short character; Steep profits but shallow relationships. It’s a time when there is much in the window, but nothing in the room.”
