What comes up in your mind when you hear the word guilt? How aware are you when it comes to finding the origin, the real reason behind you feeling guilty? When you realise that you are continuing doing what you are doing in the awareness it will bring a guilty feeling, do you stop and look at the issue? What tactics do you use to avoid this awareness?

Does it always apply or are there exceptions? Are you a hundred percent sure that you are right? Does it make you feel better?
