guilt is learned........ and taught

I don't know why, but it seems that there are many people who simply enjoy hurting others.  I suspect it stems from them feeling powerless and insecure, so they get a small charge to their own egos when they can make someone else feel bad. \n\n There are, also, others who simply take advantage of people - they see goodness and kindness as a kind of weakness they can exploit for their own means.\n\nDon't let this turn YOU bitter, though.  Remember to tell yourself that those people, in the end, will suffer for it when they find they lack solid, real and loving friendships in their lives.

Guilt should stay with you, at least in some measure.  That's guilt's purpose - to make you regret your actions, to make you want to change for the better, and to teach you compassion for people that you have or would have hurt.  \n\nHowever, it is understandable to want to ease the pain of guilt and find a way to use it as a motivator for something constructive.  In that respect, some people would say "religion," some would say "prayer," some would say "meditation."  Those can help for some, but those mainly focus on changing who we are inside.\n\nIdeally, I think that people should also find a way to do something for society that is in some way related to their crime or the person(s) that were harmed.  Like if someone harmed or killed a child, I think they should look for a way to do something for their local schools or Little League or something like that.  If the victim was an old person, maybe they could do something for a local seniors' home or center.  If the victim was someone that did things as a community volunteer, they could find an opportunity to be a volunteer.\n\nOf course there would be some circumstances where someone would have to really think hard to find an answer that works.  For example, if the person had molested a child, then obviously they shouldn't look for a way to work where there are children around.\n\nIt's a worthwhile way to make amends to one's community and whatever group their victim would identify with, it can just take some time to figure out exactly how to best go about it.

It is very human to need to feel better than in order to feel equal to. In other words, we subconsciously want to forget our own flaws and by noticing or imagining other people's flaws it makes us feel that we are better than them and o.k. about ourselves. So no, not in this life. But Jesus said that the meek will inherit the earth, so someday in his kingdom, things will be different.

People feed off other people's pain.  I suppose it's more relatable since everyone has felt that way at some point in their lives.

there is some amount of guilt involved.  Today's rich countries have become so by the rape and plundering of poorer nations.

that is a good question have you ever saw someone you love with someone else or they said something that makes you feel like you're on a roller coaster or your heart is going to beat out of your chest, or been so mad you actually feel the heat come from your body and you adrenaline going crazy, that is feeling. At the time you never go through the process of thinking "that hurt i am going to feel sick now or i am mad"  i think feeling is more of a non planned event that happens quickly and thinking is more rational, and patient.

Guilt is an inner voice that is trying to tell you that something is not right.  You need to look at that guilt and understand where it is coming from and why.  We all have an inner conscience that tells us when we have strayed from the belief system we hold to.  We need to forgive others, or ourselves, make a firm amendment not to repeat the cause of that guilt (the action, thought, etc.) and if necessary make restitution to whomever we have hurt or damaged by our action.  I am talking about actual guilt that is a result of a wrong action on our own part, where we have violated our own inner beliefs and not someone elses attempt to use guilt to shame or control us according to their own agenda.

Because people don't want to hear the truth. Sometimes it is because the truth hits the guilt spot and they don't like that.

Even though you know it is the only way for happiness, you feel guilty due to regret.  You regret that things had to end, that there was no happily ever after, that things didn't work out and for love lost.  This is all normal so please don't beat yourself up over it.\n\nThe guilt will pass in time.  I wish you my best and hope you find the happiness you want and deserve!

And this is bad how?\n\nIt is quite possible to empathise with people without having to go through their traumas, why wish more suffering in this world?

i guess people learn from their mistakes, and most people don't like the feeling of guilt, so most people wont repeat what the sin                                                                          but to answer your question i guess the people who repeat their sin, really don't feel the guilt they should be feeling and that causes them to do it again.i would need to know more in order to answer the question with more detail.

Yes, all of us have had bad days, but few of us have experienced grieving over a murdered child. My sympathies and thoughts are with you!\n\nWe all feel alone sometime, and we all try to deal with that in our own ways. Sometimes by endlessly seeking distractions, sometimes by facing our own fears, doubts, anxieties...\n\nBut life requires that of us. Growth is almost always uncomfortable and sometimes very painful, but it's pain for something, if we're honest, if we're true to ourselves and if we genuinely care about the meaning and effect of our lives.\n\nI would much rather experience the pain of facing myself... and accomplishing something of substance in my life... then run away from myself... and at the end of it all, look back and think... "What was it all for? What real difference did I make?"\n\nGood luck to you.

guilt, sense of responsibility, sacrifice for the good of everyone.
