Guilty Conscience??

First off, how would you define a guilty conscience?

Maybe it’s that nagging in the back of their head, telling you that you did something wrong. Or, is it a feeling of knowing that you shouldn’t have done something that you did. And now that you did it, you should be punished.

There are many different interpretation of a guilty conscience. But, when it all comes down to it, it’s “you” that is doing all the action.

A guilty conscience is you, yourself, telling you that you should redeem yourselves. You did something you shouldn’t have. No one else is forcing you. It’s your subconscious trying to straighten you up!

Is having a guilty conscience a good thing?

Well, you can argue both ways.

The person being “victimize” by their guilty conscience would argue “no”, that is if they didn’t learn their lesson. But, if they did learn their lesson they would say that it helps them not want to make the same mistake again. That the guilt was eating them from the inside out, so, they would never way down that path again.

But, unfortunately not everyone suffer from a guilty conscience.

So, do you have a guilty conscience?
