"do you need to feel ashamed of things you will only do again? when you know all the guilt will fade with the routine of denial and forgetfullness?"

Google books allows you to search the full text and view individual pages, even if you can't flip page by page through the book. what an incredibly useful research tool. finishing a final paper on technology. interesting, don't know if i've said anything at all though...

Well now...that logic defeats the whole purpose, the intent of guilt (and conscience) now doesn't it?
Ashamed...Shame..now that is something else entirely. Perhaps shame keeps guilt from having it's intended impact? We can be a screw up, just jump straight to shame and then live with it. Possibly this is at the root of the epidemic of low self esteem and depression in our culture? Instead of guilt leading to change, maybe we have learned to turn it to shame.... and then we just hate ourselves. No chnage in behavior needed. Hmm..sounds like an article forming in my mind.
