Are you one of Nero's guests

Chilling piece here from Alternative Perspective: Emperor Nero's parties in his garden were attended by all the Who's Who of Rome. Often the the parties were in progress, but then the dusk fell, and night arrived. There was no light around for the guests to continue to enjoy the festivities. Nero came up with a innovative solution to provide illumination: the prisoner and poors were brought and burnt on the stakes party all around the arena to illuminate the garden... Tacitus (The Annals, Book XV, C.E. 62-65 ) noted: "(they) were doomed to the flames and burnt, to serve as a nightly illumination when daylight had expired. Nero offered his gardens for the spectacle." ...and the party continued.... Of course, Nero, as most people know, was mad and cruel - and so, his conduct is perhaps not really so surprising - even if it was sensational. But what about Nero's Guests? They were, after all, the prominent elites of Rome - the intellectuals, the traders, the artists... sort of the "owners" of Roman culture and prosperity... (one would perhaps find them similar to our contemporary urban eduacated elites in temperaments and aspirations)... It is important to understand the psyche of people - our own, actually- who could enjoy their wine and food, while the crackling light from burning bodies provided illumination to their delights... as the party (i.e., the GDP, the Shopping Malls, the brands, GDP, SEZs, etc.) continues... It makes me think: is our social responsibility not really an obligation ? Are we condemned to be busy with our own lives and not root for justice ! We are a suppressed and busy people. We barely have enough time for our own lives...we are too scared to rebel against emperor Nero.
