Episode Details

What is the difference between shame & guilt? Find out within this themed episode, as Juan and Kyrin discuss the topic of 'Guilt'. Guilt is an emotional experience that occurs when a person believes (accurately or not) that they have compromised their own standards of conduct or violated universal moral standards. It can come in different forms (individual, socially imposed, collective, guilty pleasure, etc.,) but we all know that heart wrenching feeling of having done something wrong.

However, guilt should not be viewed universally as something only negative. It is helpful in knowing where are your own & others moral boundaries, and can be an impetus for change. That being said it is not something to seek out for it's own sake. A recommendation from Kyrin to help avoid acting in a way that will later induce guilt is to become clearer of the boundaries of your responsibilities and to behave less selfishly.

As always, we hope you enjoy, Mere Mortals out!
