Relative Need

It makes me feel so shitty to see people in developing worlds who have this life goal of a car or a house or a television. One out of three. Hopefully. As a resident of New York, these things are expected of me. I already have my own car. I’m considered weird for not having a television. I will most likely have some sort of house or apartment in the near future. Why do I deserve these things? I feel so entitled when I think about how much I have, and how I feel like I need things that other people have. Need is relative, I understand. I need to go to college to get a “good” job while some people here can only dream of attending a university in the United States. Don’t even get me started on what qualifies as a “good” job. What can I even do to help? Everybody always discusses what we can do. My issue is that no one ever does anything.
