Please deal with your guilt by 'annoying' 10 other people and telling them/convincing them that signing up to the donor registry is very easy.
Alternately if you 'can't tell others about the thousands of people who are also in need' then yes you are guilty and should probably figure out something else useful for humanity that your conscience/selfulness lets you do.
I do not know the names, locations, or other pieces of information about the thousands of other people who are also in need. We know Amit. Without knowing their names and locations, there is absolutely no way to bring the same class of attention to them. There is no way to build a website highlighting one of the thousands of other people, nor is there a way to make it personable and striking to others to get involved.
Amit is lucky because he has a community of people who are making excellent efforts to find him a match. That's fantastic!
The guilt comes in when I know that it's just not possible (or sustainable) to do the same thing for all of the other people in his shoes.
I am a little sad that my message was misinterpreted and it sounded like I was full of "selfulness" --- but I'm hoping it was just a miscommunication.
And my point about annoying other people was that I certainly could not beg my friends to help a different person every single day. It's not sustainable. I know for certain that every one of my friends would block my emails, social network updates, and phone calls.
I could ask them once, twice, maybe even ten times over the course of a year. But beyond that, it begins to mirror harassment. It's just not sustainable for one person to broadcast that many repetitive messages.
Though, I sure wish I could make the same efforts to tell people about each individual of the thousand other people in need, as I have about Amit.
