Changes

Guilt can sometimes be remedied by: punishment (a common action and advised or required in many legal and moral codes); [[forgiveness]] (as in transformative [[justice]]); or sincere remorse (as with confession in Catholicism or restorative justice). Guilt can also be remedied through intellectualization or [[cognition]] [8] (the understanding that the source of the guilty feelings was il[[logic]]al or irrelevant). Law does not usually accept the agent's self-punishment, but some ancient codes did: in Athens, the accused was permitted to propose his or her own remedy, which might in fact be a reward, while the accuser proposed another, and the jury chose something in-between. This forced the accused to effectively bet on his support in the [[community]], as [[Socrates]] did when he proposed "room and board in the town hall" as his fate. He lost, and drank hemlock, a poison, as advised by his accuser.

The evolutionary soil in the [[mind]] of man in which the seed of revealed [[religion]] germinates is the moral nature that so early gives origin to a social [[consciousness]]. The first promptings of a child's moral nature have not to do with [[sex]], '''guilt''', or personal pride, but rather with impulses of [[justice]], fairness, and urges to kindness--helpful ministry to one's fellows. And when such early moral awakenings are nurtured, there occurs a gradual development of the religious life which is comparatively free from conflicts, upheavals, and crises.
