You have nothing to feel guilty about. I don't like obligation sewing.
I was thinking the same. I have a car. Others around me don't. Does that mean I am obligated to take them here and there when they want/need to go?

They would like me to think so, but it means I no longer have my own life nor my own choices to make. Someone told me once that if someone asks me for money, I am obligated to give it to them. I reject that philosophy--as it means if anyone asks me for anything--I'm supposed to say yes/give it to them. Bizarre, and really just wrong.
