感悟生活

Today we have higher buildings and wider highways, but shorter         temperaments and narrower points of view; 
今天我们拥有了更高层的楼宇以及更宽阔的公路，但是我们的性情却更为急躁，眼光也更加狭隘； 

We spend more, but enjoy less; 
我们消耗的更多，享受到的却更少； 

We have bigger houses, but smaller families; 
我们的住房更大了，但我们的家庭却更小了； 

We have more compromises, but less time;

We have more knowledge, but less judgment;

We have more medicines ,but less health;

We have multiplied out possessions, but reduced out values; 
我们拥有的财富倍增，但其价值却减少了； 

We talk much, we love only a little, and we hate too much; 
我们说的多了，爱的却少了，我们的仇恨也更多了； 

We reached the moon and came back, but we find it troublesome to cross our own street and meet our neighbors; 
我们可以往返月球，但却难以迈出一步去亲近我们的左邻右舍； 

We have conquered the outer space, but not our inner space; 
我们可以征服外太空，却征服不了我们的内心； 

These are times with more liberty, but less joy; 
我们的时代更加自由了，但我们拥有的快乐时光却越来越少； 

We have much more food, but less nutrition;

That‘s why I propose, that as of today。
这就是我为什么要说，让我们从今天开始。
