Austere!! who???

You see god made man requiring very basic needs-food,shelter,clothes,love,friendship,happiness.
Then man progressed adding things to his cart on and on ...money,sex,mansion,cars,diamonds studded jewelery,jacuzzi,indoor swimming pool,beauty treatments,plastic surgeries,5 star hotels,expensive holiday resorts,lavish parties, etc.. There is no limit to our greeds. You either wish to be rich or richer but no poorer. So the big question of austerity in recent days seems all the more outdated. The slogan is :"If you have it,you simply take it". Its impractical for us to expect from a bunch of opportunists to idealize their movements and lessen their luxuries for the sake of a hungry mass who reside in the same country as yours.

Generally speaking:

Nothing wrong with people resting themselves on comforts before they do anything for anyone else...Even parents nowadays cannot take for granted that the child shall support them (financially + emotionally).

Nevertheless, have you ever noticed that at least 70% those that we actually SEE as 'underprivileged' are actually themselves responsible for it?
