3. How do these people look in the mirror and not

feel like they are looking at empty skin? I feel guilty coming into my nice home with my nice, comfortable retirement. We are certainly not rich but did well enough and timed things well enough we were able to take full advantage of what we made. It would not happen now but still, it is sad to live like this thinking how bad some have it. How do these people justify, how can they justify this? Think how many they could feed with just one hour of that rent. Holy cow this is just despicable.

If things were more equal and there were not so many suffering because of the same reasons many of these people got rich I would not really care how they spent their money but damn, how cold do you have to be to live this way now?
