Peter,

Peace, bro. Don't misunderstand me. I think to be human and do nothing about the suffering of others is callous. You are right about the scope of morality. It's bound by our limitations.

Yeah, but you're right, that I don't exert myself toward good acts on behalf of others as much as I could. You're absolutely right.

Shambles: I don't think what I described is the same as guilt, no. I think at the very least it is a better description of what is going on when you feel guilt.   Saying Hail Mary's and counting rosaries will get you out of feeling guilt in some circles; but it will not restore integrity.

(BTW that apostrophe in Mary's is only there because my spell-checker wouldn't let me form the plural without it.)
