Another one of my opinions...gee, I am sure opinionated I would think if you can make a living for yourself and your loved ones, you would just want to trade and share your knowledge and experiences with others who appreciate the time that you spend on the computer with posts etc. Is money, then the power that one gets from having a lot of money worth it all. I think health, children, love are the greatest gifts that someone can have. Money is very important, I know this, it is like oxygen, we need it to live, and the comforts that money can give, air conditioning, heat, a trip away from our real world etc., but a lot of people have a lot of things that they cannot truly enjoy because the making of this money sometimes costs a lot of time. Not to mention the stress and pressures that it can cause. I have a lot more on my mind, but nuf said now. Please read this. I found it here on an SI thread. I guess it just matte what means the most in life to us. Love of money or love of self and those around us. This was written by a Columbine High School student. So young yet wiser than a lot of people. =========================================================== THE PARADOX OF OUR TIME 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 it 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, but more problems; more medicine, but less wellness. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We have learned how to make a living, but not a life; we've added years to life, not life to years. We have been all the way to the moon and back, but we have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor. We've conquered outer space, but not inner space; we've done larger things, but not better things; we've split 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 have higher incomes, but lower morals; we've become long on quantity, but short on quality. These are the times of tall men, and short character; steep profits, and shallow relationships. These are the times of world peace, but domestic warfare; more leisure, but less fun; more kinds of food, but less nutrition. These are the days of two incomes, but more divorce; of fancier houses, but broken homes. It is a time when there is much in the show 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 make a difference, or just to hit delete!
