Colección de contradicciones morales modernas que he encontrado por la red, me ha recordado en cierta medida el gran discurso, que digo gran, maravilloso discurso de Charlie Chaplin en "El Gran Dictador" creo que incluso se lo arengó a las tropas estado unidenses antes de partir a Europa para luchar contra el nazismo. Adjunto también el bello discrso de Charles Chaplin, que también se puede encontrar de colofón en la canción de Timmo Tolki, "Hymn to life".
Today we have bigger houses and smaller families;
more conveniences, but less time;
we have more degrees, but less common sense;
more knowledge, but less judgment;
We have more experts, and also more problems;
more medicine, but less wellness.
We spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get to angry too quickly, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too often, and pray too seldom.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values.
We talk too much, love too little and lie 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 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've been all the way to the moon and back,
but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbour
We've conquered outer space, but not inner space.
We've split the atom, but not our prejudice;
we write more, but learn less;
plan more, but accomplish less
We've learned to rush, but not to wait;
we have higher incomes, but lower morals.
We are long on quantity, but short on quality
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion;
tall men and short character;
steep profits and shallow relationships.
More leisure and less fun;
more kinds of food, and less nutrition;
two incomes, and more divorce;
fancier houses, and broken homes
