If I won the lottery, I would give most of the money away.
I know it's easy to say that, but I know I actually would. I realise right now how fortunate a life I already lead, if I were to receive a large amount of money, only a small amount of it would be needed to make my life more comfortable. So many people in this world are so disadvantaged, so many are living in poverty, and it just isn't right. Everyone should have access to clean water, food, healthcare, clothing and a roof over their heads. These are things I myself take for granted, and I'm sure many of you do too.
When I read the article in the link I've posted above, I was mortified. Not because of the fact that the family aren't even moving into this house, but about the fact that this house was even built. This is a husband and wife with three children. The same as my family. Out house contains 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, living room, dining room, kitchen, laundry, study and nice backyard. We are so fortunate to have what we have and live in this house. This family are going to be living in a house with 27 FLOORS. It is the most unnecessary thing I have ever seen.
India is a country currently struck down with poverty, and yet India's richest man spends his 27 billion fortune on himself and his family. Of course people are entitled to do whatever they want with their money, but I just can't move past how out of place and ridiculous this house is.
