What feeling do you find the hardest to process?

I'm very bad at processing guilt. I'm generally a pretty decent person so it doesn't come up much but man when it does. No defense.

Guilt is the most useless emotion.

I'm usually pretty good at handling anything--I've had a lot of practice--but anger gets the better of me from time to time. Mainly only in rare, specific circumstances, but it's the most difficult one, for me.

@Tatsumi They'd have loved you in the ss.

@Allelse No need to be venemous. You can use your words, if you disagree.

What purpose does guilt serve?

@Tatsumi Well, I had this dream I was in the ss, where every morning they'd line up 10 or so prisoners and we new guards had the job of walking up the line and shooting each of the prisoners in the back of the head. Now, as a NAZI in the dream I felt nothing. BUT!!!!!!! When I woke up I felt guilty because I had shot those people. I'd murdered a bunch of innocent folk. The foundations of guilt are in alot of cases compassion. As a NAZI I lacked compassion, as me I'm the opposite and so I felt guilt.

@Allelse So does one need guilt in order to experience compassion?
