Another wise line form Carlin:
"Have you ever noticed how your **** is stuff and other people's stuff is ****?"
Reminds of this quote of his.
>
>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 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.
