GEORGE CARLIN (His wife recently
died…)

Isn’t it amazing that George Carlin -
comedian of the 70’s and 80’s - could
write
something so very eloquent…and so
very
appropriate.

A Message by George Carlin:

The paradox of our time in history is
that
we have taller buildings but shorter
tempers, wider Freeways, 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 less judgment, more experts, yet
more
problems, more medicine, but less
wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much,
spend
too reckl essly, laugh too little,
drive too
fast, get too angry, stay up too late,
get
up too tired, read too little, watch
TV too
much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions,
but reduced our values. We talk too
much, love too seldom, and hate too
often.

We’ve learned how to make a living,
but not a life. We’ve added years to
life not life to years. We’ve been all
the way to the moon and back, but have
trouble crossing the street to meet a
new neighbor. We conquered outer space
but not inner space. We’ve done larger
things, but not better things.

We’ve cleaned up the air, but polluted
the soul. We’ve conquered the atom,
but not our prejudice. We write more,
but learn less. We plan more, but
accomplish less. We’ve learned to
rush, but not to wait. We build mo re
computers to hold more information, to
produce more copies than ever, but we
communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and
slow digestion, big men and small
character, steep profits and shallow
relationships. These are the days of
two incomes but more divorce, fancier
houses, but broken homes. These are
days of quick trips, disposable
diapers, throwaway morality, one night
stands, overweight bodies, and pills
that do everything from cheer, to
quiet, to kill. It is a time when
there is much in the showroom window
and nothing in the stockroom. A time
when technology can bring this letter
to you, and a time when you can choose
either to share this insight, or to
just hit delete…

Remember; spend some time with your
loved ones, because they are not going
to be around forever.

Remember, say a kind word to someone
who looks up to you in awe, because
that little person soon will grow up
and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the
one next to you, because that is the
only treasure you can give with your
heart and it doesn’t cost a cent

Remember, to say, "I love you" to your
partner and your loved ones, but most
of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace
will mend hurt when it comes from deep
inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the
moment for someday that person will
not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak!
And give time to share the precious
thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

Life is not measured by the number of
breaths we take, but by the moments
that take our breath away.

If you don’t send this to at least 8
people….Who cares?
