^ dunno if ur being sarcastic or not, but i find it amusing that so many ppl think its just one or the other and cant think they can do both. ah well.
Well not necessarily ... not everyone has that many resources ... we should always have consideration of others around us who may vary in financial status and not only our resources and our money and our wishes.
Rather then throwing crazy money on decorations and unwanted people or door paar kai relatives who one hasnt ever met in their life ! its better to use that money in a more rewarding manner... and it encourages others around us as well to use the money carefully and in good deeds.
