LOL! actually, not a catholic, though i went to a pretty conservative Christian college (in IL--you have heard of Wheaton College, right).
yeah, i have always felt guilty about everything...it is the source of ALL of my health problems, though at 30, these trite troubles are just warnings for later.
i get nervous alot, too...acid reflux burns me...cigars have actually calmed my nerves quite a bit.
my mom tells a story like this. she was out shopping; dad found a broken mirror (big--it had been jumped on). dad asked the 3 of us, who did it. no one confessed; i was spanked. mom came home, i ran to her crying. not from the spanking--dad was a softy, really, but i did not want him mad at me, AND there was a grave INJUSTICE! she brought me in...dad said i "looked guilty"...mom was sad. she said, watch this..."brian, people are starving in africa." apparently, i looked guilty then, too.
i was once an inocent boy, who was actually one of the most wholesome to walk the planet...then, my parents got divorced....and now i am a crusader for justice...
and i think it is unfair that you (oranyone) pay twice for someone else's mistake! that is all i am saying.
