God created this
world with enough natural resources to fulfill the needs of every single person
. Yet there are some who , driven by greed , wish to acquire land and property
beyond imaginable bounds . As a result hundreds of thousands of
common people are deprived people to indulge in lavish lifestyle when the rest
of the population lives amidst grinding poverty .
The world has been
created for each and every human being alive . It is capable of providing land
, food and raw material for clothing for everyone ! The world surely be a
better place if everyone opted for a simple and healthy lifestyle . However ,
we see all around us the mad rush for material possessions . Humans , greedily
and selfishly , have been over – exploiting the natural resources over the
years .
The need of the
hour is to balance materialism and over consumption with an awareness of the
needs of others . Gandhiji spent his entire life working for the poor and the
downtrodden and set an example by living a simple life . He tried to prove
through his actions the truth of his words . ‘The world has enough for every
man ‘s need , but not for every man’s greed ‘ . If only more leaders were like
him !
