Those who do not feel pain must have medical check-ups far more often than the rest of us. Some have been rushed from their doctor's office to the hospital with appendicitis or other life-threatening conditions that they did not realize they had. Even for normal people, conditions like high blood pressure are especially dangerous because we feel no symptoms right up to the moment of a fatal stroke. In particular times with particular people, it can be overdone, as everything human can be. But the attempt to banish it completely is recklessly shallow and short-sighted.
Guilt is an inescapable consequence of personal responsibility.
Like other aspects of personal responsibility, it is deplored by those who set the standards of political correctness today. Like many of the other glib and shallow ideas of our times, collective guilt first came into its own back in the 1960s. Somehow we were all responsible for the assassination of John F. Kennedy. It was considered Deep Stuff to say things like that, however little sense it made. Collective guilt is politically useful for extracting money from the government or special favors or exemptions from others.
