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 judgement 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 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 but 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 accommodate less and less. These are the times of fast food 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 the days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throw away morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet to kill. It is a time when there is so much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this statement to you and a time where you can share this insight, or to just hit delete. REMEMBER: Spend some time with your loved ones, they wont be around forever Say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, that little person soon will grow up and leave your side. 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 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 somebody that person will not be there again. Give time to love, give time to speak! And 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.

Someday you'll cry for me Like I cried for you Someday you'll miss me Like I missed you Someday you'll need me Like I needed you Someday you'll love me But I wont love you

There was an important job to be done. EVERYBODY was sure SOMEBODY would do it. ANYBODY could have it but NOBODY did it. SOMEBODY got angry about that because it was EVERYBODY's job. EVERYBODY thought SOMEBODY would do it and NOBODY realized ANYBODY couldn't do it. So, it ended up that EVERYBODY blamed SOMEBODY when NOBODY did whay ANYBODY could have done.

For all the free people that still protest, you're welcome, We protect you and you are protected by the best. Your voice is strong and loud, but who will fight for you? No one standing in your crowd. We are your fathers, brothers, and sons, wearing the boots and carrying the guns. We are the ones that leave all we own, to make sure your future is carved in stone. We are the ones who fight and die. We may not be able to save the world, well at least we try. We walked the paths to where we are at and we want no choice other than that. So when you rally your group to complain, take a lookin the back of your brain. In order for that flag you love to fly, wars ust be fought and young men must die. We came here to fight for the ones we hold dear, if thats not respected, we would rather stay here. So please stop yelling and put down your signs, and pray for those behind enemy lines. When the conflict is over and all is well, be thankful that we chose to go through hell.
