Do you think billionaires ever feel like this? [View all]
On an outing with my husband just now, we encountered a homeless man at the intersection. My husband keeps some cash in the car for these kinds of situations. He gave the guy a few bucks when we came to a stop. I made eye contact with the man and saw he had no teeth when he smiled and said thank you.
I felt a rush of emotion, and I said to my husband, I can't believe how much more we have than him and I feel guilty. I started to well up, and my husband patted my leg. We both began to sob a little. I said that it would be so hard to pick yourself up from that situation with no hope and so little support. It was painful to allow those feelings of empathy and despair to wash over my being.
Do you think that the billionaires you are enriching themselves daily at the expense of the least of us ever feel this? Maybe in their subconscious? I like to believe that they are human, but if they are, they would have to feel something and it seems like they don't.
Sorry for the downer post. Just had to let loose a little, I guess.
