@Tetsuko Why are you feeling "guilty & sad"? You have no control over such things. One thing which is in your control is yourself. So first, try to help yourself, every other thing will fall in line.This can also be because of depression, if this feeling is persistent. To know about depression, just Google it, or atleast visit a psychiatrist once.Although it's considered a taboo. But you should be open about it and should not hesitate from consulting a doctor.If you have studied "Poor Economics", you would be knowing how costly health problems become in longer run. Do not delay further. In my family, it's a rule to have routine full body check up and consultation atleast once in 2 years, especially for our parents. You can also devise such routine for your family."Prevention is better than cure."
@Naadan_Parinda Do you think feeling helpless at the inefficiency of our administration system might be a sign of depression?
How you all are dealing with the mental crisis of feeling helpless seeing suffering of people during this time especially?
It is so disturbing that this world is full of miseries created by humans itself. I recently watched the video of a 70-year-old woman dragging a cot of her 100-year mother to bank to give them proof of her life and resume her pension. Although I try to avoid all such random news but this is not a single incident of this kind. I feel so guilty and sad at such system and society.

Quality of wise man :
1. Realism
Wise arerealisticabout how challenging many things be.
They are not devoid of hope but they are conscious of the complexities entailed in any project. e.g starting a business, falling in love, preparing for exam.
Knowing that something difficult is being attempted, don't rob the wise of ambition,
But itmakes them more steadfast and calmer, and less prone to panicabout the problems that will invariably comes their way. Probably aware that much can and does wrong.

2. Gratitude :
Probably aware that much can and does wrong, the wise are unusuallyalive to moment of calm and beauty.
Even extremely modest one : they cantake pleasure in single uneventful sunny day or just some pretty flowergrowing at home.
It's not that they are sentimental and naive, precisely the opposite. Because they've seen how hard things can be to get.
Theyknow how to draw full value of from peaceful and sweetwhenever and wherever these arise.
3. Folly
Wise know we all deeply sunk in folly. We all have irrational desires and want incompatible things.
We prone to mood swings and buffeted by curious demand of our sexuality.
Wise areunsurprised by ongoing deep immaturity along side quite adult qualities like intelligence and morality.Aware that half of life is irrational.
Theytry whenever possible to budget for madness and slow to panicwhen it reliably raised in head.
