The Disdain of our New Era....

"As I look around, I was astonished by the things that man had made. It came to my mind how lucky man is. He has the ability to use and to develop things, he has also the ability to rule and to control, but what it is, if not use in right?"

We have taller buildings... but few job opportunities.
We have inventions... but a few are having a good intentions.
We bought too much and less to enjoy it.
We have bigger houses and smaller families.
We receive too much... but give less.

We always complain... but we never try to understand.
We are excited to grow up... but wish to be child again.
we lose our health just to have wealth
And lose our wealth just to have health.

We conquer the outer space...
But we never try to clean our souls.
We love,but we don't mean it.
We act... but we don't think about it.

We established Systems... but fall to bribery.
We've appreciated the discovery of atom....
But we never try to appreciate the simplest things.
We have medicines to cure us...
But we don't have the remedy fro our damaged soul.
We have solutions... but more problems.
We write ... but never gain learnings.

We multiply possessions... but never our morality.
We have technologies... but not contented.
We have great infrastructures... but tiny values.

Now is the time to act, to do what is right.Now is the time to speak.
To listen, to act for justice...
And last to give Love...

think about it, think again....
