any-----we al have certain basic responsibilities in this life. We are responsible for our own happiness, once we become adult. We are responsible for looking out for our own best welfare---because there is no guarantee that anyone else is going to.do so. (everyone is focused on their own desires and welfare, first).
We are entitled to protect ourselves from harm, in whatever form it comes in. It is a basic entitlement, and no need to feel guilty. Even animals are entitled to that---it is called self preservaton.
Never feel guilty for your own self preservation!
