The source of today's personal and commune conflicts

I was experimenting with my stumble tool of stumbleupon.com, what an amazing resource. The websites and blogs that I've discovered since trying out this tool have let me to bits of extra useful knowledge. And a moment ago I came across this, which provides deep insight into the personal and commune problems experienced today:

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 but 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 in crossing the street to meet our new neighbour.
• We built more computers to hold more copies than ever,
  But have less real communication;
• We have become long on quantity,
  but short on quality.
• These are times of fast foods but slow digestion;
• Tall mean but short characters;
• Steep profits but shallow relationships.
• It’s a time when there is much in the window
  But nothing in the room.
  
  His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama.

Think upon this if you may.
