Live to Eat - Contribution of individual < Consumption from the society

The contribution of the individual to the society in general is much lesser than what he takes from the society, exploits every chance they get.

Eat to live

Individual contribute to the society by taking just enough for their requirements and in general leave a surplus for the society ( which gets swallowed up by the persons who live to eat ! )

It depends on how you want your life to be ( In this case, Mine)

In my experience with Western culture,
