People often think if your not successful you are not trying hard enough, so most people don't like to help those who don't help themselves. Which often is a fallacy.

Some who are better off do help the less fortunate and some help in ways that dont need money but love.

Trust me man,in this world,there are only a few people who are willing to help.Sure,we all got our problems,but sometimes that's all that we see.We don't see the kid on the corner who's finding it hard to get a proper meal,yet we who have always think it's not good enough.It's all greed man;just the desire to get more.Some people are more greedy than others.To satisfy their intense desire for further wealth ,they devise ways to gain wealth at the expense of others,never considering that the individual's position may be worse than their's.As a result life will always be good for some people and bad for others.It's just up to those that have to taste the bad side to make the best they can of life in the most honest way possible.As the Bible says:Proverbs 11:4,riches profit not in the day of wrath :but righteousness delivereth from death.We just need to know how to get the bright side of things when all seems to be dark.It's not easy but it's possible. Trust me on this world nothing always goes right.We just need to trust in GOD and have faith that things will get better.Don't worry about the bad things;that's how it's supposed to be for now;just live right.

Some of the people who are better off are quite selfish. There are some good examples like Warren Buffet and Bill and Melinda Gates who do try to help, but I get the impression that a good many of the super-rich don't want to part with any of their money.

The processes of life have no morals, the quality of a person's life circumstances has little, if anything, to do with the quality of their character. But we humans are smart enough to realise that we can help to balance out these inequalities and we're clever enough to find ways to do it.
Bottom line though, is that most people are acting primarily for their own short-term interests, or what they perceive as their own interests. We live with this out-dated lie that we don't have enough resources and we're in competition for what these is. The truth is that we have more than enough for everyone to have a comfortable quality of life. The system only works with our agreement, if enough of us act differently, society will be different.

Human society appears to favor the survival of the greedy, selfish, and powerful, so their isn't much "incentive" to help the less fortunate; very, very sad, but apparently all too true.

I am beginning to wonder if for some hell is here on earth? Others might be just confused by their fortune and are being tested?

Some people are optimists, some are pessimists. Life is what we make it. It's all a state of mind. If you wanna be happy, you'll search for things that make you happy and you'll be happy. If you wanna be miserable, you'll be that, as well.
Everything is Mind...Everything is psychological.
