Guilty or shame? We often hear that people feel guilty of doing or not doing something,
right? Like I feel guilty of not washing dishes and the stuff. It's very
curious that Japanese won't feel any guilty on that but we feel ashamed
of it instead. Sounds very strange? But not that much. Only we differ in
the reason of why we feel that way. Feeling guilty comes from religious
reason while Japanese one from the morality. In short we feel
the same way with the different reason. :wink:

On guilt I don't really think spanish fellers feel often guilty.
Japanese alike we are more prone to be ashamed of our own behavior
an utter vague excuses whilst our faces blushes.
But only when we have been caught, that is, our faults have been made
visible to others, otherwise we don't really care.
It had to have very important comsecuences for an spaniard to feel
guilty of his acts:
e.g. When someone gets into trouble/harmed due to one of your acts
We use to have "más jeta que espalda" je,je,
