Eloquent Human Nature

u r requested to pl. spare few moments out of ur
precious time
Isn't it amazing that the Human Nature is so very
eloquent.... and so very
appropriate.
A wonderful Message of Human Nature:

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,
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 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.

wishing u season"s greetings .

Heart Rules The World

If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life in aching or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.


Once upon a time, there was a king who ruled a prosperous country. One day, he went for a trip to some distant areas of his country. When he was back to his palace, he complained that his feet were very painful, because it was the first time that he went for such a long trip, and the road that he went through was very rough and stony. He then ordered his people to cover every road of the entire country with leather. Definitely, this would need thousands of cows' skin, and would cost a huge amount of money.
Then one of his wise servant dared himself to tell the king, "Why do you have to spend that unnecessary amount of money ? Why don't you just cut a little piece of leather to cover your feet ?"
The king was surprised, but he later agreed to his suggestion, to make a "shoe" for himself.
There is actually a valuable lesson of life in this story : to make this world a happy place to live, you better change yourself - your heart; and not the world.
