Everything is both better and worse than ever before -
King Nebuchadnezzar's dream of the giant metalize man started with gold, then silver, then bronze, then iron and all the way down throughout human history to the toes of part iron and part clay, an inferior material.
Nowadays plastic cars and everyday cheap plastic utensils will all break after a while.
The following is a paradox of our time in history by Dr. Bob Moorehead
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 less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees, but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgement, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.
We’ve learned how to make a living, but now a life. We’ve added years to life not life to years. We’ve been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbour. We’ve conquered outer space but now inner space. We’ve done larger things, but not better things.
Remember to spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.
Remember to say, “I love you” to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.
And always remember, life is not measured by number of breaths we take, but by those moments that take our breath away.
– Dr. Bob Moorehead
As Christian we are creatures of time, however as we live in this temporary world remember our hope is in God's coming eternal kingdom.
