One of the reasons our region remain undeveloped is that we've no sense of philantropy. We have no feeling of generosity. I've no hard feelings against him for this construction, but we also need to contribute to our society which made us. Has he even donated 0.001% of the money worth of this building?

The feeling of generosity and the will to lend hards to the needy people are one of the reasons that I like in this country. Perhaps we may have some faults in our own culture or religion or might be we are picking only the wrong manipulated ones like the need to sacrifice animals in the name of pleasing gods.

I salute the people like Warren Buffet.
