Guilt
The aspect that i find difficult to comprehend is that do we make ourselves feel guilty or do the media force us to.For example, we work hard all year to afford a holiday somewhere hot and sunny, yet we are constantly told that we are killing the planet and our decendants will all die if we do!! clearly taking the relaxing break we had planned and transforming it into yet another guilt trip!!this is the same as the polution we cause from driving our cars, bigger engine, bigger effect on global warming!!You pointed out how you feel guilty for eating chocoloate, is this because we are constantly TOLD that it is unhealthy and is making you fat etc?taking the enjoyment out of a treat!I feel that we punish ourselves as this is what we are surrounded with in the media everyday, negative feedback due to the way we live our lives, which allows them to play on our consciences. Oh what we'd give for just 1 guilt free day!!
