a sharing.

last tuesday, my sister and i went to volume for kuya rye's birthday celebration. we were there very early and the place was still empty, so we decided to take a walk and stumbled upon a small japanese restaurant. and since we haven't had our dinner yet and i was craving for sushi, we went inside to eat.

even after we were full, we stayed there for a while to kill time. and as i was reading some magazines, i came across this simple poem that i found very meaningful so i want to share it:

The Paradox of Our Age

We have bigger houses but smaller families;

more conveniences, but less time.

We have more degrees but less sense;

more knowledge but less judgment;

more experts, but more problems;

more medicines but less healthiness.

We’ve been all the way to the moon and back,

but have trouble in crossing the street to meet our new neighbour.

We built more computers to hold more copies than ever,

But have less real communication;

We have become long on quantity,

but short on quality.

These are times of fast foods but slow digestion;

Tall mean but short characters;

Steep profits but shallow relationships.

It’s a time when there is much in the window

But nothing in the room.



-His holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama



nothing could be more true than this.
