Pampered public servants

“The world has enough for everyone's need, but not enough for everyone's greed.” “True happiness does not come from without, but only comes from within.” - Mahatma Gandhi.
The public servants are the most privileged persons of the country. They often get government accommodation and those in higher levels get a full-time car. As a further gift, they can get a residential flat. There is no other calling or profession where a person is respected as much and has the opportunity to serve his fellow men.
In the years from 1947 to 1970, the civil servants were pampered and made to believe in a “consumer-oriented” society. We are following that old model and our greed has led us to the abyss of consumerism.
Why do we need a Pajero, a Lexus or a BMW, instead of a simple 1300 CC car (better, a reconditioned car)? These expensive cars clog our roads and deplete government resources. Unless we live a simpler life and abhor the reckless and senseless consumerism, corruption and nepotism shall prevail.
