Guilt

[huajiro]

Is there anything you feel guilty about? (be honest)


I feel guilty about the fact that I don't do more to help others. I wish I could not worry about myself and just "do" more than "thinking about doing".

I feel guilty about my obsession with women....I am a very sexual being and I have been thinking a lot lately about becoming celibate. I am an extremist, and it is very easy for me to either do things a lot, or not at all.

Maybe i should just dedicate my life to helping others, and becoming celibate....I just really, really enjoy sex!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel guilty about being lazy sometimes and not taking my own advice.

guilt is a self induced emotion permeated by lathargic post-action consquences. Either fix (as much as possible) it or live with it. Being non-commitial on a regretful act is something only the inducer can manufacter. It is one of the few emtions we have much control over.

I have read where buddism sees guilt as a self centered emotion and puts it suggests that one remove the source of guilt (fix it) as opposed to making an attachment to it.

I had feelings of guilt when I was a kid but grew up and realized they were completely internal and nothing to do with my relationship with the rest of the world. I would have to confess at this point I see it as a childish emotion and when I feel it I see it as a learning tool on how to better understand my own emotions but not as a reflection of my relationship with society.

I can't say I have any guilt right now or for some time....maybe I will think of something eventually but right now nada.
