What ever happened to that popular saying that I used to hear when I was a kid
Cut your cloth according to your size
I've not been hearing about that in recent times and I don't know why, or has the narrative changed?
With the situation of things now and how the world is going I think that saying should be: "cut your size according to the available cloth"
or size your cloth according to your cut, does that even make sense?
Well, the most important thing is knowing what to cut, how to cut and when to cut them. There must be a cut, a reasonable and considerate cut
Times are changing and ways and methods of doing things are changing too; we have to adopt accordingly to changes around us
Nowadays if someone tells you to cut your cloth according to your size, it might not really be a very nice advice; not because you don't have what it takes to fit your size, you might be very big and still have all it takes to make enough cloth
Luxury and comfort are very good and we have to take care of ourselves, but sometimes the condition of people around you might not allow you to be comfortable living a luxurious life, if you have a conscience that is alive and active
You have to also consider the people around you. If you continue cutting cloths to fit your big size, you either run out of cloths or the people around you who don't have will suffer, and you might not be comfortable because you have a conscience
So, be considerate of people around you, don't be selfish. Sometimes you have to cut your size according to the cloth available
