Religious almost karma advice needed…

I have wanted to sponsor a child for years but never really got round to doing it. Yesterday I decided to finally sponsor a child. I knew I wanted to sponsor a child from my parent’s country and that I wanted the child to be late teens (as I amuse most people must want to sponsor cute little children... It’s a guess?). Anyway I saw three children who were Female 15, Female 14 and Male 16. I decided to sponsor the girl of 15, but now I feel bad as I choose the child on appearance and age. I feel I kind of played God and choose the child’s fate. Now I feel super guilty as I should have closed my eyes or something then chosen. So my reason for writing this forum is to ask should I feel bad for choosing the child I sponsor or does it not matter? I feel super bad and am so confused as how I should feel. The other wore glasses – that makes me feel bad because she may need help to make for her prescription… I don’t know… What do you lot make? ….

Also I wanted to if I’m allowed to feel good for sponsoring a child or not… Self Less Good Deed and all that…

You shouldn't feel guily. Especially if you believe in God.

After all it's God that made the other two mingers.

And God, in his wisdom must know, that no one likes a minger.

Sam, you did what you felt was right at the time, and if you believe in Karma, then you'll understand the role of fate, i.e. what was meant to happen, happened. If your feeling guilty after being charitable, it kinda defeats one of the objectives? (i.e. to feel good?)

In such cases, its important to remember, that you should always read the stats and not see the pix, as it displays on stats what the circs of the kids are, the poor circumstances are the basal reason that sponsorship is being requested.

And finally, I reckon you picked the right one, she was younger and a female who are seen as more vulnerable in 3rd world societies, so rest assured mate.
