(I am in not advocating Buddhism, but this pretty much sums up guilt and xianity)<BR/><BR/><I>The concept of being born onto the earth with an “original sin” - for which we are not even responsible - easily puts a feeling of guilt in our minds (I am bad, even without doing anything wrong). Furthermore, the presentations in several Christian traditions can give one the impression that one should feel guilty and ashamed even for simply having fun. I believe that this type of guilt is even a learned, socially imposed emotion; Tibetans do not even have a word for it! If that is correct, it is not even a basic human emotion, but a culturally imposed type of mental frustration.</I>Stardusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10560872454564355114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18955218.post-1169930401477182812007-01-27T14:40:00.000-06:002007-01-27T14:40:00.000-06:00What Vjack says is true.It is also true that so-ca...What Vjack says is true.<BR/><BR/>It is also true that so-called 'Doctor Lee' is a charlatanLiam O'Cionnfhaolaidhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06317353275160197409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18955218.post-1169926864993283252007-01-27T13:41:00.000-06:002007-01-27T13:41:00.000-06:00Helping professionals working in very religious ar...Helping professionals working in very religious areas are used to encountering guilt. Many Christians who end up reluctantly seeking treatment for depression feel overwhelming guilt over it. As if clinical depression weren't bad enough, they have internalized religious messages about how their life is "a gift" and that their feelings of sadness are in insult to their god. As you can imagine, they often end up feeling even worse about themselves. Not surprisingly, their churches are often quite hostile to the idea of their seeking professional help.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
