Just travel around, go to SE Asia for example and look around. You'll see little 6 years old kids selling chewing gum and bottled water at the bus station. I really can't tell you how I feel seeing this day after day.
Little kids should be happy. They should be playing with their friends and going to school. Not selling lottery tickets and chewing gum at a bus stop.
When I was young, I went to school with many kids like this. Most of them drop out because their parents couldn't pay for tution and books.
While I'm not anywhere close to rich, I might as well be Bill Gates compared to these kids.
So I wonder to myself, why should I have all this while they have nothing? The guilt plays itself on many levels. When I feel like I'm slacking off, I think about my mother. I think about all those poor kids.
I've been given so much, yet I'm still not good enough to take full advantage of it.
I hope that one day if I ever become rich, I won't be so delusional as to think that that a huge part of success isn't just luck.
For some reason, the older I get, the more I keep dwelling on the fact that life is incredibly shitty and unfair to 99% of the people out there. Strange, whereas many people I know instead look at their richer peers and wonder, why shouldn't I have more?
