Am I too Sensitive?

After reading an article on phalango.com about the mother who died during protest against the King in April 2006, I felt so much sadness for the family especially for her 3 young sons. I want to help them but I don’t know how. The story was so touching. I felt that she is my sister or friend and those kids are my kids. She was a brave woman.
Life is not fair. Here in US, people want more than they already have or they have to have such and such things NOW. It is so sad. I try to be away from those people. I try to be away from greedy thinking. Yesterday, I almost bought leather jacket which cost $160 and leather bag which was $70. I thought for a while, do I really need these stuff. Nope. Reading these kind of stories make me think how luckey I am, I have everything and alas I don’t see it.
