Guilt is a strong word



I mean, when we say we feel guilty, we are basically saying we have either done something wrong in the past, or are doing something wrong in the present, or are about to do something wrong in the future. But if guilt is such a strong feeling, why can't we just fix whatever we did wrong, stop doing what we are doing wrong, or stop ourselves from doing something wrong in the future? Because most of the time, it's either too late to fix it, it's too good to leave it, or it must be done regardless.

Thanks to many factors, I feel guilty when I eat junk food now, because I'm so effin addicted to carbohydrates. . . as is the rest of the world. I could have just had the fish and veggies I brought from home, but just before lunch time, the mail lady comes in, strutting her stuff, with a bluetooth on her ear and some hard core chola eyebrows (pure class, no seriously. . .). Mother of all horrors!! COUPONS!!! For Carl's!!! I can get free medium drink and fries for the purchase of a charbroiled steak sandwich! 100% sirloin steak!

Ok, I'm abusing the exclamation mark. Bottom line, I get my ass in my car, drive to Carl's, get mine, and get going. Now I'm sitting in the break room at work, typing about how guilty I feel after eating the damn meal. And as guilty as I feel, I'm still sipping my coke (no diet, just regular Coca Cola) pondering about guilt. I felt guilty when I was paying for the meal, knowing I would feel guilty while eating it, and now I feel guilty that I ate it. . .

But it was sooooooo damn good!
