The Value of Self — Part 5 If you want to live forever, it's helpful to have a high level of self-esteem so that you don't fall into self-destructive lifestyle choices. Guilt is TOXIC and it lowers your self-esteem. The only benefit of guilt is if it can cause you to be remorseful and change your behaviors for the better. To avoid guilt, you must never betray your conscience (your own sense of morality). If you do anything against your conscience, you'll probably hate yourself for it and end up sabotaging your own eternal life. Guilt can be lethal. People who feel guilty often fall into self-destructive and suicidal habits. One example is veterans with post traumatic stress disorder. This is why it's actually dangerous to betray your conscience. Most people do betray their conscience, which might partly explain why almost everyone in this world is suicidal to some degree. "Is there not a sort of bloodshed when the conscience is wounded? Through this wound a man's real manhood and immortality flow out, and he bleeds to an everlasting death." — Henry David Thoreau Part 1 ►http://is.gd/PKhufr Part 2 ►http://is.gd/kbDi7Q Part 3 ►http://is.gd/OAjTgO Part 4 ►http://is.gd/gIpN88 Part 6 ►http://is.gd/Ztlazq Part 7 ►http://is.gd/heEdYK via Eternal Life Fan Club http://ift.tt/1pJduA8
