What’s the natural purpose of guilt? If someone does an evil action why should they feel bad? Can they change it? Let’s use an extreme case, someone murders and immediately committs suicide.
It’s your fault? So what?
If there is a super-natural plain, perhaps they are hurting their loftier self by doing evil?
If the world is natural, the only explanation I could think of is, we evolved with guilt in order to maintain order amongst our kind. If that is the case, shouldn’t guilt come before the act? Why does guilt come after an irreversible action? Did we evolve with a glitch?
In my soul search I often imagine human evolution. When it comes to guilt I just don’t see where is belongs. Survival of the fittest means your fitter if you outlive someone. Shouldn’t it make you happy that someone else is dead?
