<p align="center"><em><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:'Lucida Handwriting';"><span style="color:#000000;font-size:medium;">and how can you, say &#8220;No&#8221; to a face like that, huh???  Not my photograph&#8230;</span></span></em><img src="https://19sunset.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/this-dog-is-sad-797.jpg" /></p>
<p align="center"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:'Lucida Handwriting';"><span style="color:#000000;font-size:medium;">Getting used to feelings of guilt, it’s, a sort of a, learned behavior, I suppose, because you relied on someone else to survive (being so young and so helpless as a child that you once were!!!), you’d felt this drive, to comply to your caretakers’ requests of you, NO matter how unreasonable those requests are (you need to take CARE of our emotions, kid, and of course, your god DAMN parents wouldn’t say those EXACT words to you, but, everything they’d done to you, pointed toward THAT “direction”…).</span></span></p>
<p align="center"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:'Lucida Handwriting';"><span style="color:#000000;font-size:medium;">And, once you get accustomed to feeling guilty over stuff, then, guilt will, slowly, show up, in OTHER aspects of your lives (i.e. in school, with friends, at work, etc., etc., etc.), until it’s around you, sixteen-hours a day (b/c I’d subtracted the EIGHT hours of sleep you SHOULD be getting at night!!!), and, everywhere you’d turned in your waking hours, you’d, see GUILT’s UGLY face, glaring at you.</span></span></p>

<p style="text-align:center;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:'Lucida Handwriting';"><span style="color:#000000;font-size:medium;">Not my comic.Getting used to the feelings of guilt, that, however, doesn’t mean, that you would feel great, in GUILT’s presence, (unless you’re PSYCHO, of course, then, in which case, I CAN’T help you!!!), it just means, that, everywhere you turn, it’s, right there, accompanying you, and, you can’t, get RID of it that easy, it’d grown, attached, and, become, a HUGE part of your day-to-day lives…</span></span></p>
