I am of the present without having chosen to be

“Am I supposed to worry about the suffering in the world that I can do nothing about, except for sending money? Am I supposed to feel responsible, or even liable, for everything I might perhaps be able to do something about? If so, I would be living with a constant sense of guilt. And that is not something I intend to do”
