One of these days


Today we have higher buildings and wider highways, 
but shorter temperaments and narrower points of view

We spend more, but enjoy less
We have bigger houses, but smaller families. 

We have more compromises, 
but less time. 

We have more knowledge, but less judgement. 

We have more medicines, but less health.

We have multiplied our possessions, 
but reduced our values

We talk much, we love only a little, and we hate too much.

We reached the moon and came back, 
but we find it troublesome to cross our own street and meet our neighbors

 We have conquered the outer space, but not our inner space.

We have higher income, but less moral

These are times with more liberty, but less joy

With much more food, but less nutrition

These are days in which two salaries come home, 
but divorces increase. 

These are times of finer houses, but more 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 the needs. 
Pass more time with your family, 
eat your favorite food, visit the place you love. 
Life is a chain of moments of enjoyment; it isn’t only survival.

Use your crystal goblets. Do not save your best perfume
use it every time you feel you want it. 
Take out 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. 
Never pass up a chance at adding laughter and joy to your life. 
Every day, hour, and minute are special… 
Because you never know if it will be your last
