Why Guilt Is More Fun
Guilt is the lazy way out of remorse. You keep beating yourself up for something you've done, something in the past. Doesn't sound fun! So why do we keep going there? The Food Of ShameGuilt feeds shame. It also feeds on shame. The more shame is lurking in your subconscious, the more susceptible you are to feeling this dastardly emotion.

But only you can choose remorse. No one can force it on you. It's an expression of true ethics -- your own inner knowing of what is right action and what is not. This is why remorse is empowering. Which is more fun, in the long run: empowerment or victimisation?
