Question: How different would the world be, if being "rich" was based upon how good of a person you are!?
People born into poverty didn't do anything to deserve what they go through!. People born into war torn countries didn't do anything to deserve what they have to go through either!.
What do you think the world would be if all good people had the best of life and people who did horrible things, were the poor!?
Do you think that no matter who is living in famine and war it's still horrible to have anyone living like that!?
I feel so guilty at times for being so well off compared to other people in other countries and even in my own country!. I didn't do anything to deserve being born into such a lucky life!.
I don't really know what question i'm asking, but any thoughts would be appreciated!. I'm over thinking again!.

People in poverty often need the least in order to be happy!. They truly appreciate the things we take for granted!.!.!. a roof over their head, a bed to lay in, a good meal every day!.
In the west we have been conditioned to believe that more is better and happiness comes in a brand new car!.!.!. or bigger house!.!.!. or big screen tv!.
It doesn't, and some day people will wake up to that fact!.
As to your feeling of guilt, just keep being you and keep sharing your wealth!. Try to appreciate the little things you have and the people in your life!.!.!. and be good to others!.!.!. I've heard a mere kind word goes a long way!.
Peace

It would be a much better world, though it would be even better to give those people who did horrible things the chance to redeem themselves!. Of course no child deserves to be born into or to live in conditions of war poverty, violence, slavery and filth!.
I'm not sure guilt is helpful, but if you are motivated to help people, to help save the planet, and to make this world better in some significant ways, then you will have "earned your keep" karmically!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
the world would be a far better off place if "rich" was defined like that, and its okay to feel bad about all the horrible things going on in the world, but you gotta remember that you can't blame yourself for being born in a good place and having a wonderful life, while others suffer, sometimes that's how cruel reality can be!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
