/^t/A man whose attitude towards life is purely consumptive, could be said not to seize the day. This kind of a person simply keeps his body and soul together. He is not able to appreciate art. An uneducated man is quiet often thought to be, but not necessarily of course, ignorant without any interests which could develop his inward, spiritual life. Strangely enough though, he is not aware of it as compared to other (poor and possibly educated) members of a society he lives in, he has got 'everything' that others might only dream of: wealth, a good car, a beautiful house, and what is obvious - he does not have to worry about basic necessities for he can afford everything he needs or wants. Therefore he can lead an easy life, not being stressed by lack of money which not rarely leads to various frustrations.
