The Paradox of Our Age
We have bigger houses but smaller families;
More conveniences, but less time;
We have more degrees, but less sense;
More knowledge, bus less judgment;
More experts, but more problems;
More medicines, but less healthiness;
We’ve been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor.
We built more computers to hold more information to produce more copies than ever, but have less communications;
We have become long on quantity, but short on quality.
These are times of fast foods, but slow digestion;
Tall man, but short character;
Steep profits, but shallow relationships.
It is time when there is much in the window, but nothing in the room.
~ H.H. the 14th Dalai Lama

List of Updates
“Less visible, but even more widespread, is the legacy of day to day, individual suffering. It is the pain of children who are abused by people who should protect them, women injured or humiliated by violent partners, elderly persons maltreated by their caregivers, youths who are bullied by other youths, and people of all ages who inflict violence on themselves. This suffering – and there are many more examples that I could give – is a legacy that reproduces itself, as new generations learn from the violence of generations past, as victims learn from victimizers, and the social conditions that nurture violence are allowed to continue. Many who live with violence day in and day out assume that it is intrinsic part of human condition. But this is not so. Violence can be prevented. Violent culture can be turned around.” 
~ Nelson Mandela
"Previous estimates overlooked the impact of HIV/AIDS on children if one or both parents die, how they can suddenly become orphans, how they become vulnerable to dropping out of school, and how, in this way, the disease weakens the ability of today's generation to pass on its skills and knowledge to the next."
~ Shanta Devarajan, co-author of the new research findings, and Chief Economist of the World Bank's Human Development Network
"We have learned to see the great events of world history from below, from the perspective of the excluded, the ill treated, the powerless, the oppressed and despised . . . so that personal suffering has become a more useful key for understanding the world than personal happiness."
~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer
