582 Words3 Pages

Guilt A few days ago, something _____happened. My girlfriend and I went to a local haunted area for a scare and to kill an evening. It was midnight and we were arriving at the location when it started to get extremely foggy to the point where we could hardly see in front of us.

    It is dependent of whether I am directly involved as well as the effects after the incident, in which the guilt was caused. Sometimes, if I am not directly involved, I feel the guilt in waves of increasing sadness and even depression. Other times, if I’m directly involved, I tell lies and try to convince everyone (even myself) that the incident simply did not happen. Correspondingly, this has prevented me from feeling the guilt and/or suffering the consequences of any wrongdoing I committed. The particular guilty experience I had with my cat changed me and the way I act around him.

    As I can distinctly remember at age 4, my hurt for not living with my biological parents which was not their fault, but, all because my father’s aunt who had no children decided she wanted to have me live with her. This was a verbal arrangement of adoption, so there was no documentation to prove anything. My hurt was soon dispelled as I grew up realizing that even though they were not my parents, “they were my parents”. Initiative vs. Guilt tells us that, In order for a child to have control over initiative the child must first learn and accept that there are things that are not allowed and things that they will need to be punished for. A child must be free to use their imagination without feelings of guilt or worry of being punished.
