Does the feeling of guilt serve a purpose? If so, what is it?
If it serves no purpose, why not?

I feel guilt over many things. Does it serve a purpose? I think it depends on what you have done.
It could serve as a reminder to why one shouldn't be doing something "bad".
As to no purpose, it just makes you feel bad.
I lied to my mom, when she visited last year. I didn't feel guilty then, but since I have lost her I do. It was a harmless lie but now it feels huge.
I think guilt makes us think before we act. We may not always act right but hopefully we thought about it.
