People live in poverty, family members die, people are lonely etc. and this is totally normally. If you had everything you wanted (possessions and emotions), would you feel guilty about it?

If I had those things through donation/charity... or "magic"... I would feel guilty. What comes easy to me shouldnt be appreciated so much. Thats like taking pride in a constant of your nature and not in your strife and hard-work in defining yourself. Thats what some people are like... taking pride in their race... the way they were born... a characteristic they had no real part in establishing. I ask why? Because they have nothing real, nothing personal to take pride in? Nothing that is their own, unique to only them?
Yes... if I was given all those good things and I didnt give back... I would feel guilty.
But if I worked hard and earned those good things... why should I feel guilty about it? I would have earned it. I would be privileged to them.

If I don't have everything I want, which I don't, people still live in poverty, family members die, people are lonely etc. and this is totally normally. I don't live in guilt now, I give what I can, so, I would be just fine if I had all that I wanted.

Due to the very nature of desire, I think it's impossible to have everything you want. Once you get something, you'll want something else...and when you get that, the cycle continues.
However, if it was possible to have everything I wanted, no, I would not feel guilty. If everything I wanted was true, no one would live in poverty, and everyone would have enough food to eat. Sadly, though, I don't rule the world. :-P

If I had everything I wanted, there wouldn't be death. Loneliness would be a passing emotion. Poverty would be unheard of.

no - best position to help someone else is when you are in order, and can do much more helping if you have a lot of money. Can't help others by feeling miserable along with them - rather by giving them insights to help them change.

i don't think that i feel guilty. i would feel a little empty though because then i would have no goals or anything to work for. i would be charitable with my money though. and help whoever i can.

i dont think so because one of the things i want is to be charitable and help people who need money and things like that more then i do
but i think as an unsatisfiable human if i had everything i wanted i suppose id just want more as well

Nope -
If I was that privileged, I would give back in return.
