Food for thought

I have had this in my files for a long time now, I don't know who wrote it unfortunately but I should like to find out and meet that person for tea.

''Today we have higher buildings and wider highways, but shorter temperaments and narrow point of view. We spend more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses but smaller families. We have more compromises, but less time. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our value, we only love a little and hate too much. We reached the moon and came back, but we find troublesome to cross our own street to greet our neighbours. We conquered outerspace, but not our inner space. We have higher income, but less morals.... these are tiles with more liberty but less joy....with so much food, but less nutrition...''
