Good choice, the Mac Pro will last you a long time and you won't have to worry about losing money on it be selling it used.

It's a common and natural feeling to have in a world with such extremes. I have experienced it myself.
Yes, your family bought you a very expensive machine, which is more than you need. But just think of it as being an extremely reliable machine which you can take good care of and use for a long time. Don't focus on the past. Just think of the good you can do for the world in your position, and that your Mac Pro is one of those tools.

freedom in your case could mean riches/mac pro
You can get a part-time job and pay for your own new LCD to go with it (it sounds like you're using older monitors that don't work so well?) and buy it with your own money. You won't feel the same guilt.
