I think you are being hypocritical here - unless you have sold everything you own that is not absolutely necessary to sustain your own life or the lives of your family, and given the funds raised to the starving around the world, or those who die from lack of medical care, in fact YOU DO BELIEVE YOUR POSSESSIONS ARE WORTH MORE THAN A HUMAN LIFE.
I personally am not a hypocrite. I know I am doing wrong because I have money in the bank when other people are starving. I give some of it away, because I know I am doing wrong. And I admit that I am doing wrong. I live a life that is "poor" by American standards, because at least I was raised well enough to know that I am doing wrong.
You, you seem to just want to feel self-righteous about it, but anyone on this board who heats their house above the minimum necessary to sustain life in the winter, or goes to bed with their hunger truly satisfied, or has any unnecessary comforts in their life is, by your definition, a sociopath.
So I suspect you have just defined yourself as a self-righteous sociopath. You're welcome to it.
