Whom are we cheating in the name of god?

Last night I was walking down the streets of Bangalore enjoying the cold breeze. Suddenly I noticed the street was fully lightened. It was strange for me, I have never seen a street light there before .Walking further down to half a mile ,i noticed a Ganesha statue. Now I found the reason. The atheist in me woke up. What's the need of wasting so much of power for this reason. Praying God is different , I can even accept the offerings that are given to GOD as it is given to someone or the other. But what is the need of wasting so much of resource when we are in scarcity. I agree this is a custom or tradition that we are following, but what was the tradition before electricity was found may be oil lights? What were we doing before that?

THIS POST IS NOT TO CREATE AN AWARENESS or something.This is just an outburst of my emotions and frustration. This really doesn't have a grammar.

What are the normal quotes that we comes across daily. Save power, Save water, Save fuel. Are we really doing that? Greatest happiness in life is giving something to someone and seeing happiness in their face. If that's the case then what are we gonna give to the next generation? People are just living a very very selfish life, they want to live in luxury when they are alive but they don't want to think about their next generation. I am ashamed but the reality is I am one among them.

A day might come when people may STOP fighting for land, money and wealth but there will be mass burials because of water scarcity. Am just wondering what are we going to leave for our next generation?? Scarcity of water, polluted air, 0% of mineral resources.

How to stop this? Is there a way an individual can save something for next generation? Suggest me i will try to follow it. Waiting to hear it from you guys.

If you believe in GOD please pray to him so that our future generation live their life in luxury the same way as we are.
