I Am Insecure Around Rich People

I Hate Their Stupid Ideologies... Example: "Well, whether I buy this 5th house or donate the money to charity doesn't make a blind bit of difference to how the world works, does it?"
Even buying a chocolate bar (an individual one as opposed to a multipack on special offer) changes the world. See, take Johnny, the boy who gets beaten up every other night as his drunken dad returns home. You try telling me that the 30p extra per day on chocolate you spent (30px5 working days a week = £1.50, over a month that's £6; 3 months is near as damnit £20) which facilitated getting someone in to sort it all out for him didn't make a difference to /his/ world. Then think about that house you want, and scale it up. That's a lot of people's worlds.

They just don't live in the same world as me, and I constantly feel like I don't fit in - my colleagues, my girlfriend, my mum and dad all do their own little tiny bit but it's not enough, to me. I can't stand it!!!!

I know you know :)
I'm going out now, too meet up with my gf after today's incident. I think I've gained something of an insight into the responsibility of accepting a gift, and into my own reaction to the offer of such a gift (earlier, not large but enough to tide me over a week or two). I freaked, saying there were plenty more who needed it more. Really, perhaps I was somewhat scared I would not use it responsibly, for something that mattered.
Maybe I was scared that with that gift, I would have become such a person, who had more than he needed but would not give.
Fear is not the way to go, but if you don't recognise it or notice it under its many guises... Now I know!! Thank you thank you thank you!! Your comments led me to this conclusion. Now I understand it was more inward than I ever would've thought.

Watch this space :D
