topper74 Posted January 29, 2002 Share Posted January 29, 2002 Just thought some of you might enjoy this. The softer side of 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.

blas Posted January 30, 2002 Share Posted January 30, 2002 I liked it too! Things to reflect on. As to Charlin, back when I was in college, I found him to have great humor. In recent years, he comes across as a bitter old man that seems to see only the negative side of everything! The last special I started watching on HBO really turned me off on his comedy. It's sad when a man so gifted with wit, turns it into something so bitter. Oh well, there's always his old vinyl to revisit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwarf Posted January 30, 2002 Share Posted January 30, 2002 That "sappy load of shit" is obviously not Carlin. While it's kinda in the style of something he would say, he wouldn't say most of those things. The big clue is "pray too seldom" ... George has never been big on encouraging religion, he's too much a realist for that. -- Rob I have the mind of a criminal genius.....I keep it in the freezer next to mother.

jsull Posted January 31, 2002 Share Posted January 31, 2002 [quote] ACTUALLY, The LIST of 'ALL THOSE NICE SAYINGS' is what Carlin calls a "Sappy Load of Shit!!" I SAW him do a routine where he did say the "God's Dick" thing!! IF no one wants to give HIM credit for THAT statement, then I'LL take credit for it!! [/quote] That's what I meant. I wasn't replying to the post right before mine. But George should definitely get repeated credit for the "God's Dick" thing. Still wiping the spit off my monitor from that one.
