Live for Today: Double Standards

We hear and see it often in our daily lives. Young people living it up. Credit card bills more than salaries....the partying, the drinking, the smoking the cars/brands ,etc
If you tell the guy who eats...10 Big Macs a day to join the gym you will get "Who has seen tomorrow. Might as well live for today"
Or the guy who drinks like there is no tomorrow. "Hey I could get killed crossing the road"

My ? is this. How come its only vices and enjoying for ones self that comes in the "Who has seen tomorrow argument"
If tomorrow is so uncertain how come leaving your money for good causes is something you plan only "post" retirement and not give away now ?
Or yoga you do only "post" 50 and not today ?

Whatever happened to that thing called balance ?

i agree with you completely. times where im about to make an impulse purchase (n more often than not its ABOSULTELY useless) n i stop n think bout how bad would it be if atleast once i did something a lil more constructive with that money... it teaches you to value what you have, and help those who dont.. father teresa's words shall not go unheeded! hehehe
