“We have multiplied our possessions but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.”
— George Carlin

Simplified Meaning:
People today own a lot more material things than in the past, like cars, gadgets, and clothes. However, our sense of what's really important, like kindness, honesty, and respect, has decreased. We spend a lot of time talking, often about unimportant things, but we don't show love and care for others as much as we should. Additionally, many of us get angry or upset more quickly and frequently than we used to. For example, instead of helping a stranger in need, some might prefer to post about it on social media. To apply this to your life, try to focus on building stronger, loving relationships with the people around you and practice being kind and patient, even when it's easier to just talk or get angry.
