浮生飘絮 （八十九：困惑）

                  （shanjing)

When today the pupolation explosion has reached an unprecedented size  in the world,
why have families shrunk, become increasingly fragmented & disintegrated?

When societies have become so "civilized," "progressed," & more afflunent,
why do more & more of us feel so lonely, isolated, & become so obssessed with intemacy?

When we have been trained & learned to be so skilled in caluculating,
why do we owe so much debt to the current & even our next generations?

When our life expectancies have increased so many years longer than  those in the past,
why do so many of us become so confused, lost,  & clueless about why we're here?

When TV, newspapers, & other mass media tools are flooded with whatever tastes the audience have,
  or used as politicians' sounding-board, or those loud glory-huggers' platform,
why would we even bother to pay a price, plus wasting time reading or watching them?

When we generously give out more & more "A" grades to students,
 why do many of our younsters seem to have become more aggressive, greedier, lazier, heavier, & dumber?

  ......
 
Do you know, dear friends:         
Where are we going, and what do we want?
