You feel guilty for the privileges or advantages you have

This guilt comes from a conscience worth having, which is why it deserves to be aimed rather than merely suffered. Guilt that only paralyzes serves no one — if it makes you uncomfortable while changing nothing, it is a private torment that helps no one, least of all those whose lack occasioned it, so feeling bad about your advantages does not by itself help a single person; the question is not whether to feel it but what to do instead. You did not choose the unequal distribution — you inherited an arrangement you did not design and cannot undo by feeling guilty, so distinguish false guilt, proper only for wrongs committed, from the real responsibility you bear for what you do with what you did not choose. And convert the guilt into use — turn what you were given toward helping those who were not, opening doors, spending your advantages in the service of justice, so the guilt has somewhere to go, into action that helps, and resolves into purpose. What advantages weigh on you?
