Our Life
by a Columbine Student
submitted by Jack and Betty Savage

This is insightful, as it is scary.
A Columbine student wrote it:

"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 it 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 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 the new neighbor.

We've conquered outerspace,
but not inner space;
we've cleaned up the air,
but polluted the soul;
we've split the atom,
but not our prejudice.

We have higher incomes,
but lower morals;
we've become long on quantity,
but short on quality.
These are the times of tall men,
and short character;
steep profits,
and shallow relationships.

These are the times of world peace,
but domestic warfare;
more leisure,
but less fun;
more kinds of food,
but less nutrition.

These are the days of two incomes,
but more divorce;
of fancier houses,
but broken homes.
It is a time when there is much
in the show 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 make a
difference...

or just hit delete."
