[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not so sure about the rich feeling "shame" at being rich. For one thing, many are isolated from the many people who might look askance. [b]I wonder if the problem is actually the moral obligation that the notion of being "rich" might carry. If I am truly rich, should I be doing something substantial to help others? Should I admit that there a huge, systemic issues in my society with race and class? [/b] The alternatives are far more comfortable. And in fairness, this applies to me as well, although I make much less. Just to a smaller degree.[/quote] I think this is precisely the shame they're feeling; it's not that they have money, it's that they know their wealth reflects the inhumanity of the society that made them rich. And yes, I feel this too on a smaller scale. We deal with it by a.) being grateful, and b.) giving lots to charity, although we could certainly give more (and hope to do so someday).[/quote]
