Spoilt For Choice

For those fortunate and more prosperous of us today as consumers we have too much choice we are spoilt and nauseatingly throw so much away While so many have little or no choice at all and face starvation everyday. It seems immoral and unjust that so many poor people who need it most have little and life is tough But the rich have too much and more than enough. I often when shopping can't make my mind up and buy things I really didn't set out to buy out of frustration with little hesitation. I feel so fortunate I am one of the lucky ones but I'm always mindful and try to help for as for choice have non. With the rise of food banks the like little seen before With large ever increasing cues at the door While the greedy rich get away without paying tax Many struggle to pay bills and have debt upon their back. It's the same old adage as before the rich get richer and the poor get more poor. Gandhi once said after coming to this country. ''These people are living in paradise and don'y even now it''. when he saw how much we had. Peter Dome.copyright.2014.march.
