Guilt and Shame

Abstract

Farrukh Saeed

Have you ever been experiencing bad of yourself, by doing wrongs, back biting, cheating, bullying cursing or doing sinful activity?? Some of us some times and many of us feel same many a times. We do wrong many a times but not every time, we feel bad of ourselves. Guilt is an emotional experience by any person of his conduct contrary to his belief, social values and universal moral standards. This emotion is related to self-realization of own negative actions and creating unrest internally. Shame is an overall feeling of embarrassment, distress or humiliation to person as a result of silly, undesired or unjustified behavior. Guilt is mainly related to any action one has performed. The engram (black spot) is created in mind as result of guilty action which holds the person like a chain and person himself commits "I have done bad, Is there any rescue which reduces emotional suffering"? While in shame, a person feels himself embarrassed in front of others and says, â??I am bad ".
