We travel on roads more open …<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

with minds more and more <\/span><\/span>narrow.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We have more comforts …<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

but we live more unhappily.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We have more knowledge …<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

and less awareness.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

More specialists … and fewer solutions.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Most drugs … and less health.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It is the era of fast food …<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

and of slow digestion.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The era of luxurious houses… with broken families.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We get angry easily …<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

but we forgive with difficulty.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We leave very early …<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

and we always come back late.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We raise the flag of equality,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

but we still keep prejudices.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We have our agenda full<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

of friends’ phones \u2026<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

that we never call.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And our library-shelves,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

are full of books<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

we will never read.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
