Do you feel sorry or ashamed for being healthy while others suffer debilitating !
Question: Question Details: I am a selfish person. I wake up and feed myself and our pets and go about my daily thoughts without realizing how blessed I am that I was allowed to wake up at all. I have complaints about life just like every other person on this earth and since I'm so used to being pretty healthy and well fed I don't think much about how lucky I am. Well I've come to realize that I am a very lucky man indeed. I see people who have lost their loved ones while others are born with physically deformities or diseases and yet others are killed/die without ever having any real shot at a decent life. Do you ever feel guilty about being in a better position in life? Are you even aware that the world is a very cruel and vicious place for others to live in? While we hop in the car to go to the Safeway/Vons and McDonalds others are barely able to get a bite of food daily. This is not a slap in the face. I'm just asking are you a caring person who realizes how lucky you are?

I do realize how lucky i am,therefor i use that to help the others.you don`t need to feel selfish ,just make the best out of your life,help underprivileged families,elderly people,kids with physical disability......what ever that can make you and people around you happier and believe me this is not a slap in the face ,you can look at mirror and remember your day and be proud of it
I live in a simi-debilitating condition, I have a disability of mental illness. I get help from the government for my disability. I haven't been able to work a 9-5 job for so long know I can't remember. But I know there are people far worse off than myself, and I remember that and I pray for them.
No, I don't feel guilty at all. I care about others and help them as I can. I pray for them and show mercy to them as I can. Usually, we can give more than we do. And, we benefit when we give. So, if you are selfish, please understand that you will become a more content person and have a clearer conscience if you do help others.
By the way, I have had many trials in my life...cancer, single-parenthood, abuse, job loss, abandonement, a child with some special needs, betrayal, poverty and more. But, I consider myself privileged and fortunate. It's all a matter of your perspective.
I take an eternal perspective. I am not surprised by difficulties in life, mine or others'. I see life as a journey in which we make choices and affect others, learning to be unemcumbered by static, the things of this world and prepared to meet our maker and reside in understanding and peace.
