Are You Less Deserving Than Other People or Animals?

Do i chase the long term dreams that would make me like, fulfilled in my life ultimately? Or do i like take care of myself in the moment and like indulge in little, like moments of joy to keep myself mentally sane. Are you less deserving than other people or animals? I don't know if it's so much i consider myself less deserving, it's just, but it's hard for me to want other things.
