I never feel guilt for America's success. Is something wrong with me? I do feel the uncomfortable heat from international envy but that is not guilt. Envy is projected onto others as greed or guilt but it is a head fake and not really what's going on. The reason is people feel shame for envying, as well they should. I think the solution is to knock it right back to them as envy so they feel the discomfort they choose to incite.

Western Guilt is really Eastern Envy. And people who "feel guilty" are really attempting to deflect that resentment.

They envy us and want to bring us down a notch or two or three.
Then when the next big disaster happens somewhere they EXPECT us to be there to bail them out. Of course they don’t have to thank us because we owed it to the less fortunate lazy folk.
