How do people deal with guilt?

       Everyone deals with the feeling of guilt differently. Guilt is painful so people often find some way to soothe themselves. Some people "make up" their actions by doing good to even out the bad they did. They want to re- strengthen the ties to people they have damaged. Some people are to scared of the guilt to repair it specifically to the person they hurt so they will try to do nice things for others to make themselves feel better. Whenever you do something that could hurt another person, you run the risk of damaging your relationship with them. Your feelings of guilt lead you to be more generous to that person in a way that can demonstrate clearly that your relationship is valuable.

     Others don't know how to deal with guilt so they just seem angry. They use anger to try and release the feelings they don't like, this usually doesn't work. You have to confront what you did wrong and make peace. You have to forgive yourself to find peace. 

     Macbeth keeps doing the same things that are making him feel guilty therefor he is just going to feel worse. If he keeps this up I think he will lose himself. Macbeth is surrounded by lies, it must come to a point where he gets overwhelmed and just breaks down. He is living a life full of lies and deceiving, that will eventually catch up with him and eat him alive.  

     When I feel guilty I usually at first try and ignore it, I will go for a run or workout to try and release some of the anger I feel. Then I hit a small breaking point and I seem to go into a small depression, I exclude myself and just lay in bed thinking about everything. Finally the guilt attacks to hard and I break down, I start crying and talk to whoever is involved in the guilt I feel and I try to make it right. I personally hate feeling guilty, so I've gotten better at dealing with situations right when they happen so as to fix the problem faster before I feel to much pain. Macbeth needs to do the same he needs to come to terms of what he did and confess, yes his life will not be what he wants but its the right thing to do and he is causing pain in others life that is extremely unnecessary.
