As a living thinking being it's your own responsibility to think about what's important to you and what you want from life. Being in your circumstance is outside your control. You could have been born into a kind/cruel family or a fortune/unfortunate one and have an easy/comfortable life but I see it all as luck. If you were born in a different body with certain brain chemistry you'll think about life in a more carefree or dutiful way. Imagine that for any person you can possibly conceive and potentially any creature or even bacteria that don't or can't think in such a considered way.
With all that in mind you're probably pretty lucky in the circumstances you're born in and you have been raised to be empathetic or you were naturally inclined to be but if that's how you are you can choose to continue those values that try to help others to live in a positive way while you still can. Maybe there's a reward or not. For the conceivable time you're able to be empathetic and cognizant of your place and privilege maybe you'll find happiness in knowing helping others can bring comfort and joy to others and in turn yourself. There's no knowing what is after but choosing to spread decency and altruism within your means can give you comfort that when the time comes (however soon or sudden) you can end knowing you were gifted and gifted a blessing to the other lives you contacted who may also continue in your footsteps.
