The World is commemorating the criminal attack of last year. An attack without any moral support or justification. Anyone defending that attack is completely and terminally morally corrupt. Muslim voices have to raise now to point out the tradition of peace and advancement that the muslim world has stand for through most of its history

Today is also the five month anniversary of the Massacre of innocents in Caracas. Another act without any morals. Anyone defending any of the shooters is as morally corrupt as the supporters of the attack on the US.

Instead of acts of prayer and peace, what we got in Caracas were pointless acts by the opposition, closing the transit in some places and by pro-government gangs going to places of work to threatened people not to support the opposition actions. I saw some gangs from the other side scaring the pro-government gangs away... That is currently my problem: What is the difference between the government and some of its opponents? I can see none...

There is of course a serious opposition to the government and, maybe, a serious part of the government, but these sectors are over shadowed by the more vocal and more thoughtless groups. I remember Nixon's silent majority, I used to laugh at that, was it not nonsense?

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.
