DALIA LAMA ARTICLE
PARADOXES
This abstract is sharing
an article from the blog of Wendi Moore, a lifelong nurse of
Portland, Oregon which
blog , “The Half Filled Glass” , carried it to the world wide
web on
Thursday, June 28,
2012. It sends us this message or statement, whichever,
of the
Dalai Lama, about
'paradoxes' we live under these days. His statement reads:
We have bigger houses
as homes but smaller families, we have modern
conveniences but less
time, we have mote education but less sense, more
knowledge, less
judgment. We have more medicines but are less healthy.
We have been all the
way to the moon and back but e have trouble crossing
the street or going
next door to meet new neighbors. Our computers hold
more information but
we have less personal communication.
We are long on
quantity, short on quality, These are days of fast food but slow
digestion, tall men
but short character , There are steep profits but shallow
relationships, yes,
it is a time when there is much in the window but nothing
in the room.
Wendi
asks, how did this happen ? She thinks it boils down to greed.
Are we a
culture of wanter's and takers ?
