Answer 1

you dont need to feel guilty. infact its great that you even stop to THINK about people less fortunate than you! it's a heck pf a lot more than MOST people.

if you want to feel better, you should just try giving back by voluntering somewhere. other than that, just appreciate your comfortable life, and count your blessings often =]

Answer 2

I don't think you should feel guilty for appreciating that you have a good life.  Yes, there are a lot of people who don't have it as good as you do.  But that's not something you need to feel guilty about.  My suggestion would be that you try to donate time or money to some club or association that tries to make the lives of these people better.  If you have a good life and try to help others have a good life, there is nothing you have to feel guilty for.  

Answer 3

I don't think you should feel guilty, as long as you appreciate what you have...  

Answer 4

I think more people should feel guilty for this.  I think if all the normal or spoiled people felt guilty for having so many pleasures in their life, not as many homeless people would be on the street, rapists and murderers would be more sympathetic, and it would probably change the world in such a good way.

I think you are a nice person for feeling guilty about it.  And yes, it is normal.  I feel sympathetic and guilty for having things that everyone else should have and share, like a family.

Answer 5

**** it put it out of ur mind they probably screwed up or their parents did their fault they didn't make something of themselves.

Answer 6

Yes, for a truely good, kind person it is. People should realize when they have a goof life and feel bad for others who. Dont. I talked to my mom about this (i have this feeling all the time) and she told me it is completely normal. Really, it should be normal and EVERYBODY should feel this way and dont.

hope i helped :)

Answer 7

Yes its normal.  But don't feel guilty.  What you have you did not get by stepping on others.  Just be grateful you have it.  Most, as you seem to know, don't.  Don't take it for granted.
