We

Today we have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, but less time
we have more degrees, but less common sense; more knowledge, but less judgment
We spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get to angry too quickly, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too often, and pray too seldom
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values.. We talk too much, love too little and lie 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 have taller buildings, but shorter tempers; wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints
We spend more, but have less; we buy more, but enjoy it less‏
We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor
We've conquered outer space, but not inner space. We've split the atom, but not our prejudice
we write more, but learn less; plan more, but accomplish less‏
We've learned to rush, but not to wait; we have higher incomes, but lower morals
We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies, but have less communication. We are long on quantity, but short on quality
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion; tall men and short character; steep profits and shallow relationships
More leisure and less fun; more kinds of food, but less nutrition; two incomes, but more divorce; fancier houses, but broken homes
That's why I propose, that as of today, you do not keep anything for a special occasion, because every day that you live is a special occasion
Search for knowledge, read more, sit on your front porch and admire the view without paying attention to your needs
Spend more time with your family and friends, eat your favorite foods, and visit the places you love
Life is a chain of moment of enjoyment, not only about survival‏
Use your crystal goblets. Do not save your best perfume, and use it every time you feel you want it
Remove from your vocabulary phrases like "one of these days" and "someday". Let's write that letter we thought of writing "one of these days
Let's tell our families and friends how much we love them. Do not delay anything that adds laughter and joy to your life
Every day, every hour, and every minute is special. And you don't know if it will be your last

I am afraid I dont see the first parts of this at all, most of us dont have more now we do have less, I think America is more positive than this , we do see friends a lot ,eat favorite foods ,visit places and always have, Americans have always worked hard and played hard , no two incomes any more for a lot of Families , houses have goneand  a lot are not fancy, we dont spend more or buy more ...I am thinking it is Iran you are talking about not America , thank you for the aspect though its very interesting .
