Hi SV,

There is no question of who deserves what in this life. People get things lot by luck. By luck or God's plan or by Karma, some people end up being born in good families, and end up having a good life.

Some people are born in not so great familes and have to struggle.

So it is really not the question of your individual worth. Lots and Lots of things have gone into making you who you are right now, and you didn't control any of it. Your parents, your inherited wealth, your country etc.. these are all beyond your control.

Whenver you start doubting yourself, think that each of us is responsible for who we ended up to be only 25 %. The rest 75 % was given to us or forced upon us. And nobody really deserves or not deserve anything they get in life. People who are millionaires, people who are happy, people who are extremely beautiful - how do you know if they deserved it?

If they can have a good life, so can you. You are as worthy of everything as everyone around you in this whole planet is (except for people who really do real bad things to other people voluntarily - like serial killers etc). It took me a long time to understand this. But I understood it only recently.. I figured if I am to be guilty, then so is everyone around me.. If I am to be unworthy, then so is everyone around me.
