Chronic remorse is a most undesirable sentiment. If you have behave badly, repent, make what amends you can and address yourself to the task of behaving better next time. On no account brood over your wrongdoing. Rolling in the muck is not the best way of getting clean. Civilization is sterilization.
Capitalism is dead, consumerism is king.
Children are living talking records of what we tell them. It has become clear that control through the punishment of undesirable behaviour is less effective, in the long run, than control through the reinforcement of desirable behaviour by rewards. It is better that one should suffer than that many should be corrupted. If one's different, one's bound to be lonely. In real life there is no such thing as the average man.
