I can almost hear the gavel slamming down. Not guilty!
Guilt.
But, I still feel guilty. Is this normal? Some people never feel guilt, as if they believe they have no effect on the world around them. Some people live an examined life, while some people live and unexamined life. Some folks have feelers and some folks don’t. Those unexamined people who feel no pain must be boneless, and without heart. They blow my mind. My feelers shout so loud, I always assumed everyone else’s did too. I suppose I might have been wrong. It does happen, after all.
I must admit; I even feel guilty for feeling guilty. Is this normal?
Exhibit A thru Q

K. I feel guilty for getting angry.
L. I feel guilty for being scared.
M. I feel guilty for not reading my Bible everyday.
N. I feel guilty for coughing too much.
O. I feel guilty for being able to memorize so much scripture, when others can’t (or won’t).
P. I feel guilty for hurting so much.
Hurting.
Q. I feel guilty for being sick, and thus a burden on those I love most.
It must be my fault after all. I must have done something to deserve it.
Now, I know quite well that this is probably my irrational mind speaking. But…
What do you think?
Do tell.
