Here is a little poem that I found on 9-11 and wanted to share it with everyone...
---------------------------------------------
Today we have higher buildings and wider highways, but shorter temperments and a narrower point of view.
We spend more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses, but smaller families. We have more compromises, but less time. We have more knowledge, but less judgement. We have more medicines, but less wealth.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk much, we love only a little and we hate too much.
We reached the Moon and came back, but we find it troublesome to cross our own street and meet our neighbors. We conquered the outer space, but not our inner space.
We have higher income, but less morals...
These are tiles with more lberty but less joy...
With much more food, but less nutrition...
These are days in which two salaries come home, but divorces increase.
These are times of finer houses, but more broken homes.
That's why I propose that as from today;
You do not keep anything for a special occasion, because everyday that you live is a special occasion. Search for knowledge, read more, sit on your front porch and admire the view without paying attention to the needs. Pass more time with your family, eat your favorite food, visit the place you love. Life is a chain of moments of enjoyment; it is not only survival. Use your crystal goblets. Do not save your best perfume, and use it every time you feel you want it. Take out your vocabulary phrases like "One of these days..." and "Someday...". Let's write that letter we thought of writing "One of these days...".
Let us tell our families and friends how much we love them. Never pass up a chance at adding laughter and joy to your life. Every day, hour and minute are special...
And you never know if it will be your last...
---------------------------------------------
Kinda makes you stop and reflect huh? If it works, here is the link to the flash version of the above poem: http://www.clublaugh.com/item.php?id=358

God bless.
