Therefore I find it troublesome when we, the rich, start to cast guilt and blame upon others. We should look inwards first... if we find that we are holy, we may cast the first stone.
Edit 2: sorry I seem to turn every topic into something serious. It's really not my intention. Gotta practice on my jokes.
