Why do we feel guilt and fear constantly?

Is it sin? bad food? inheritance? religion, or what???

 

it is what tames us and what keeps us conservative.

 

constantly? well if you are feeling it constantly, it might be because of something you are constantly doing.

but i think that those emotions come from a blindness to the unreality of all phenomenal existence. deep down, you know that there is nothing to fear. and there is never anything to feel guilty about... so long as you make an attempt to learn from your mistakes. somehow, eventually, one is able to see through these things. they always pass away. they are only ever self-retained.

 

Try Decaf.

 

Um...I don't feel guilty constantly and definately a sinner.

But, for everyone who does...let me ask, are ya catholic?

 

Instinct - Survival mechanism.

 

Yer i think thats why weed makes you paranoid, to keep you safe. see how miraculous it is? Its thinkning about our well being!

 

Wow fear and guilt are two pretty differnt emotions, I don't think they are related. Shit man its just the way you are, so try your best to maintain.

 

I very rarely feel guilt or fear. Maybe I should, but... ahh well.

 

screw guilt.

I make it a point to sin every day. (and that doesn't even count masturbation)

 

I don't feel them either. Maybe thats because we were given the power of Choice?

 

Right now i fear that i'm going to be dead bored and tense for the next 9hrs (it's 22:50pm and i can't sleep), with NO FUCKING BOOZE and i'm guilty of not stocking up on beer earlier...
Godammit

 

its the cosmic game of hide and seek

 

You feel it because you're more than likely doing something that you shouldn't be doing.

 

I think that of all the answers, this one hits home and makes it more clear. Ironic isn't it?

Guilt is knowing that you will suffer because you did not prepare well for the present.

 

An animal lives and dies without guilt, though he may feel fear constantly for his life in a jungle full of hungry predators like himself.
Likewise the predators of the human spirit are guilt feelings and countless sorrows that he adds to everpresent the fear of death, even more pronounced tha in the animal mind.

Guilt and wanting to"measure up" is a painful psychic predator. Animals do not judge other animals as wise or ignorant ggod or bad,noble or ignoble, mankind does. I think most if not all our guilts are impossed by the society in which we live. Each society and clics within that society creates their own codes of wise versus ignorant,good vs evil, and the mind of the individuals of those groups find themselves forcefully subjected to those standards,and beliveing themselves constantly judged.

 

ParadigmsThe invisible prisons of the mind are created whilst consciousness is becoming aware. They are the result of our indoctrination into ways of thinking, being, and doing, all of which crystallizes in our minds as paradigmatic systems of belief that govern our way of being and thinking.
The greatest proponents of fear and guilt in the "normal" world are relgious dogma's, the paradigms of which are utilized by governance and policing bodies around the world to manipulate (control) populations. Religious dogma's are accepted into and perpetuated by the family unit, and are thus voted into administration societally, thereby creating a uniquely circular trap.

 

Wtf? That's the problem with America, people are afraid of shit. Afraid of this, afraid of that, afraid of a pretty green plant that smells skunky and makes me laugh. Fucking come on. America is run by fear, "The Land of Fear" they should call it.

 

becuas we are all told too. we are tought to feel bad about who and what we really are; so we do.

 

No fear!!!
