THE PARADOX OF NEW AGE

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....
We have been all the way to be the moon and back,
but we 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 less comunication.
We have become long in quantity, but short quality.
These are times of fast food but slow digestion,
tall mans but short caracter.
Steep profits but shallow relationships.
It is a time when there is much in the window, but nothing in the room.

H.H. the 14th Dalai Lama


that little quote you pasted from your friends status reminded me of this one. i think it is all true.
but as i told you before. i dont believe in changing the world. quoting another wise man:

“Be the change you want to see in the world.”
Gandhi

it's been a while i visited this space.. i am sorry.
the winter has arrived finally. the snow covered everything, the canals are frozen and of course the trains don't ride (:P)
i guess my head lately has been quite busy with ups and downs. i always struggle to keep my head focused on the present and not wander in the possibilities of the future.

i just wanted to say i am here. listening.

love,
joana
