Thanks for the sentiment, but George Carlin never wrote that. It's an
urban legend.

  HAPPY TAHNKSGIVING AND ALOHA AMIGOS....MD


  GEORGE CARLIN (His wife recently died...)


  Isn't it amazing that George Carlin - gross and
  Mouthy comedian of the 70's and 80's - could write
  Something so very eloquent ..and so very
  Appropriate .

  A wonderful Message by George Carlin:

  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 judgment,
  More experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but
  Less wellness.

  We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too
  Recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get
  Too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read
  Too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.
  We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our
  Values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate
  Too often.

  We've learned how to make a living, but not 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 neighbor.
  We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've
  Done larger things, but not better things.

  We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul.
  We've conquered 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 build more computers to hold more
  Information, to produce more copies than ever, but
  We communicate less and less.

  These are the times of fast foods and slow
  Digestion, big men and small character, steep
  Profits and shallow relationships. These are the
  Days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier
  Houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick
  Trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one
  Night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do
  Everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a
  Time when there is much in the showroom 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 share this insight, or to just hit
  Delete.

  Remember, spend some time with your loved ones,
  Because they are not going to be around forever.

  Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to
  You in awe, because that little person soon will
  Grow up and leave your side.

  Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you,
  Because that is the only treasure you can give with
  Your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

  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.

  Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for
  Someday that person will not be there again.

  Give time to love, give time to speak,! And give time
  To share the precious thoughts in your mind.

  AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

  Life is not measured by the number of breaths we
  Take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

  If you don't send this to at least 8 people....

  Who cares?

  George Carlin
