Je voulais dire...

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. You can even chose the red pill or the blue pill...
It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom.
We should spend some time with our loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.
We should say a kind word to someone who looks up to us in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave our side
We should give a warm hug to the one next to us, because that is the only treasure we can give with our heart and it doesn't cost a cent.
We should say, "I love you" to our partner and our loved ones, but most of all mean it.
A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of us.
We should 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,the way I do, in this blog, because the only legacy in life is who you were and the difference your thoughts would make to this world.

I will dedicate this posting to my beloved Québec, the place I've learned to love simple things and the place where I faced my fears and found the bravest myself.
Merci mon Québec pour me montrer que la vie peut etre tellement belle.
