DollyDiva	Posted Nov 10th, 2009 at 9:18PM Because you have been told a lot to be selfishness and take care others before yourself, thus when you feel like you wanna take a good care of yourself, you feel like you are selfish, and then guilty. Rated: +2Vote for this!

pukirahe	Posted Nov 8th, 2009 at 3:26PM Caring of oneself is not guilty; the guilt is using our capacities and means for the wrong purpose. So, before all else, we have to confirm about the purpose of our life. Rated: +1Vote for this!
