Hello,
guilt ( P ) Pronunciation Key (glt)
n.
The fact of being responsible for the commission of an offense. See Synonyms at blame.
Law. Culpability for a crime or lesser breach of regulations that carries a legal penalty.
Remorseful awareness of having done something wrong.
Self-reproach for supposed inadequacy or wrongdoing.
Guilty conduct; sin.
I really find this definition inadequate. I believe that we can feel guilty for doing something right, for starters. I believe this, because I am in the midst of it. It sucks, to say the least. I think I feel guiltier about this than anything I have ever done/been a part of, but I truly haven't done anything wrong. At any rate...I don't know if I will ever be able to apologize. Does thinking how sorry you are count?
