10. Don't remember?

Told you in the spaced out thread I'm in Finland. In our language causal chains and guilt are expressed with same word, so I can understand the difficulty of separating the concepts. The difference is important though, causal chains link to conscious comprehension and guilt to emotional burden that is often obstacle of comprehension. May I remind you that it was you that brought up guilt and accusations and insists on talking about it. So in one way or another it seems to be issue you feel is important for you. It's OK but not what I have much interest for. In the last paragraph you touch a related issue which I also see a lot, the phenomenon of nurturing our wounds - individual and/or collective - instead of letting them heal.
