For example, my family and I moved to the US to have a good lifestyle, but that does not mean that we did not have a good lifestyle in India; we moved to have a better lifestyle than we had in India. Having a good lifestyle does not mean to have five cars, and to have ten servants, but having a good living standard is a way of living of individuals, families, and societies; to maintain a safe and securely balanced
