I’m not really the kind of man who likes to make others feel guilty. I know there are countless people out there who wield guilt like a hammer over their loved ones. Sad to say that a lot of them are women.

Like anger, guilt is a social emotion. And it’s often meant to shape your decision making for the future. In modern times however, it can be used to bludgeon you until you never forget to ever to the bad thing ever again.

Whatever this bad thing is, is usually dictated by our ever so large and continually growing cancer culture. Yes I meant to spell it that way. A world that has instead abandoned all traditional moral scope, to instead have the moral shape of a melted Popsicle.

I learned a lot from witnessing how powerful an emotion like guilt has been on tons of people. It makes perfect sense how the Catholic church has remained so prevalent and popular for so long. A sect of religion that makes you feel guilty, and has the power to absolve you of that guilt.

Unfortunately for the Catholics, that is far too much power than I am willing to give.
