Like you go out to eat all the time and it's in nice restaurants and the bill comes to 10,000 etc etc maybe even more. Do you feel guilty knowing that many are hungry or do you just accept that in life there are levels. Make Everyman dey Hin own level. My own level na to eat 10k food while him own level na to eat 200 naira food . Should you feel guilty ?

The only guilts I feel is for myself and my mum in the sense that, overspending knowing fully well that I don't have much with me at that period of time then,spending and having it in mind if my mum is financially secured because she is all have got for now.I can't really feel guilty because I worked for the money so the money I spent is not from charity.
I do charity when I feel I should.

ahhhh nice one bro. Cuz you know some people feel guilty and tend not to even spend at all and try to mirror the lifestyle of the poor so they don’t feel bad. They call them empaths

I feel bad for myself for being poor



Who gives af about others ??

Op, for you to come up with this topic. It means you are very privileged and comfortable in life. However back to the topic.


Yes, sometimes the rich feel a sense of guilt when they spend lavishly knowing fully well there are lots of people that will feed on their excess expenditure, this is why many resort to church donations, charity donations, Radom act of kindness online/offline, secret donation and give away, celebrating their birthday in hospital, charity homes, motherless homes and donation.

Not all rich folks thinks this way though, rich people who grew up in penury, squalor and in poverty are the once who thinks this way.

People who grew up in wealth barely thinks this way; they experience life as a different class and level because they haven't tasted poverty before— yes most trust fund wealthy kids are overtly classist.

Extremely NOT.

I used to be that person that over show poor people kindness, but recently I have realised that poor people see what you have and believe you don't deserve it, they look at you & ask themselves why they are not in your position. Anytime someone notices my freehandedness in giving out money, they always try to come up with issues from the family that is of no business of mine just to syphon money out of me.

Today their mother has a broken leg, tomorrow their sister is pregnant but doesn't have money to pay for hospital bills, next tomorrow their Dad is in the hospital and needs 250k for surgery. Their needs are endless.

I still have an open hand to giving to the poor but strategically, I do it to buy loyalty now because the only thing the Nigerian system understands is MONEY.

During Xenophobia retaliation attacks in Jakande Lekki, I saw poor people looting out franchised Shop Rite and their usual tone & consensus was that the Rich owns the place, they buy from there. Why should they be able to purchase those things while we are not able to do the same. I saw old women in their 50s, Men, Ladies & other able bodied men loot electronics and goods from honest people's market with an excuse that they are poor. Random big cars on the road in Jakande were attacked & the excuse was that they are rich, they are the ones stealing Nigerians money.

The poor lives on survival instinct, I can never feel guilty for enjoying the riches God gave me & also from the work I did.

Let them go & work!

Yes I do sometimes especially when I know there are some of my people with pressing financial needs.

It happens to me most times... But I accept that as a reality if life... By the way, the best way to help the poor is not by living poor

ok

I don't think there is any emphat that will say because he is not sure if others have not eaten,he will not eat.Better hunger never catch am lol.
Do you also know that emphats have self pity for themselves too.I am an emphat and I have learnt that there should be limit to it because you have yourself to protect as well.I can give out to people if they ask me but that should not stop me from doing my thing because I have worked for the money.

Only people without unclean hands will feel guilty spending money because of their conscience

As a man you need to feel guilty spending on a Nigerian parasite knowing fully well that your mom and sisters are there.

How you can even spend on a girl who cannot spend on you in return baffles me. The question is "what would she give back in return aside her over used kpekpus" ?

Dating a Nigerian girl is the most 3rd foolish thing on earth.

Yes , infact its always my major pain when I gamble away a huge amount of money .

Well, I no dey spend lavishly Sha... I dey try do my part

I don't feel guilty spending my hard earned money the way I like.

I think you should ask pulpit bandits that steal from the gullible to buy private jets and luxury cars.

Ask the thieves that go about collecting money from the gullible claiming they are working for the maker of the universe only to use the money to build expensive schools.

Lol

Hehehehe

I don't spend lavishly and even if I do, guilty ke?

Who no get money make he go do okietebor carry cocaine

No

It's fine to enjoy your life big and be happy but you still need to remember that people are not as lucky as you.

Nah

.

Alright.

Wey i dey work my ass out for my dough Omo make somebody smile but no forget say you be somebody too...

No but then again I have never spent lavishly and hope to one day

Never

Lol

In the first place, how do you even spend lavishly when you're poor?

You didn't even say "when you're broke".

Lost 5h k to the bookies this festive period to the bookies. I felt bad and still feeling bad. Not because of myself but because people around me whom I should have gifted that money. I made good 💰 from bet last year. I invested majority of the money but still had some little left overs which I should have gifted but I went for the kill and lost. Anyways, this year is another year, I would bear it in mind. People are struggling real bad. If God provides for me this year; the blessing would go round.

Capital No. And nobody would feel guilty for you if you trade places.

No one cares about me when I was poor , I helped the best I can if I wish and I cannot kill myself for others

NO!

I am one of the 'talakawas'. But if I have, I would not waste it nor feel guilty spending my honest, hard-earned money.
