The guilty conscience


burden of guilt
Morality
A guilty conscience denotes existence of a moral standard within oneself; a super ego that has the ability to identify a compromise in morality, subsequently directing an individual towards pro social acts. Guilt is an emotion and brings out responsibility towards the violation, typically warranting merit for the correction. Guilt can also have negative eventualities with self-blame leading to withdrawal, self-resentment, delusions and frequently suicide. Consciousness as well as unawareness of guilt can have ruinous outcomes. It is imperative to understand and deal with guilt to reach a truce in the battle between the id and ego as well as ego and super-ego.
