What a difference a sad event in someone's life makes....... 

GEORGE CARLIN (After his wife 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 recklessly, 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 more 

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. 

George Carlin
