#41-Guilt is a healthy emotion

First of all, this is Michael Krupa writing on Clayton's blog. I could not get my own blog to work so i asked Clayton if i can use his blog for my post. Everything that i am going to write is myself, Michael Krupa, not Clayton.
Guilt is a feeling every single person will feel. It can not be avoided throughout someones life. Everyone makes decisions and with many decisions, comes guilt. That being said, I completely agree that guily is a healthy emotion because it works the body and keeps the mind flowing well.
The feeling of a guilt is a feeling that can't be replaced. Whether it's a bad thing you feel guilty for or something you just feel guilty for in general, the feeling works the brain. When you feel guilt, you feel mixed emotions that can be very healthy. The exposure to those emotions bring out a new and complex system rushing through your body. By doing that, it keeps your body very alert which is very healthy for a person.
In many ways, I see the feelings of guilt and nervousness very comparable. They both rattle the body a little bit and get your mind thinking really hard. For example, if someone is up to bat at a baseball game, he or she feel nervous. If they strikeout or do something costly to the team, he or she will most likely feel guilty for what just happened. From personal experiences playing baseball, i have had that happen to me and those feelings of nervousness and guilt feel the exact same. The main point to that is that people hear all the time that being nervous is healthy, and experts have said it is healthy for years, so then wouldn't the feeling of guilt be healthy? They both bring a system of nerves rushing through the body, and seem identical in many cases like the baseball story above.
However, i'm not saying that the feeling of killing someone will always be healthy because that can be something that really takes a toll on the mind and body of someone. But the feeling of guilt for smaller things like hurting a friend a little or lying to a parent are common feelings that bring out the best of the body and are essential in the everyday lives of people in the society today.
