Why do I feel bad when I can't help more people or can't do much?

[Anonymous]

I'm currently tight on money at this moment and it feels bad not being able to help more. I've given out some money towards a child suffering from cancer, someone who had a horrific accident and the family was in need, a child that lost his fingers during a firework accident, etc.

Recently there was a fundraising and this time only gave $50. I couldn't help more. I haven't even gotten paid yet. Once in a while I imagine being rich to use for starving people and others in need. When someone else is suffering and I can't do much (even if nothing similar ever happened to me nor my family), I end up feeling bad. Why?

I think the same way,

There are billions of people on this planet living a miserable life due to a lack of money to arrange resources even if resources are cheap to get, but the population is so extremely high that this is not enough, but
they are producing children knowing that their children surely will suffer.

So, it is not my responsibility, it is society's problem, if I am donating something then it is my greatness.
When I am in trouble I will not get any help and govt will send me to jail for not paying taxes because I am rich according to them but I am just living a basic life.

But I know that some diseases are golden hens for businessmen.
But it is not my responsibility.
Society elects only those politicians who give them free stuff, a good leader will stop the poor from producing children but he will not stay in power. If the population is less and someone will keep an eye on the profiteers then everyone will have enough.

One can say that nothing is perfect, there are problems in that too, but my idea is to eliminate today's problems, not to bring perfection. That will happen by reducing the population.

*correction:
I think the same way, = i think in this way,

It's a good sign you have empathy which the world sorely needs More of.
