The guilt

I wasn't raised Jewish, but I was raised Catholic. So I know something about guilt. It is Lent, after all. Guilt has been a constant in my life. I am a white male. Elements of society say I should feel guilty. And I oblige. I do feel guilty. I am a son and a father. I feel guilty. I am a husband. I feel guilty. I live far from relatives. I feel guilty. I am middle-class. I feel guilty about making too much and not making enough. I am an employee and an employer. I feel guilt from above and below. I am a pet-owner. The dog lays on the guilt trip. I am a neighbor. I feel guilty over whether my walk is shoveled as quickly as others, my lawn is mowed as quickly as others, my Christmas decorations are up too early or too late. I am a consumer. I feel guilty about not owning the device everyone around me owns. I feel guilty about not getting the best deal I can possibly get. I feel guilty about missing out on SAVINGS! I feel guilty about not seeing whatever movie ever...
