While untouched by the economic disparity, in their snow castle they talk of equality. Counting your blessings on a private jet, doesn't make you grounded. Setting up charities to get tax cuts, doesn't make you philanthropist. Collecting rings like postcard, doesn't make you the love doctor. Regurgitating facts like a robot, doesn't make you any the wiser. Hypocrites are the lowest form of animal, Acting without substance is norm of the jungle.”” [Abhijit Naskar](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/abhijit-naskar/) ## About This Quote This interpretation was drafted with AI assistance.
