Do you feel bad after you've done something wrong to a person you know you'll never see again?
Depends on the person.
>>267323Complete stranger, met once, never again.
>>267325Yeah, I would, for a while at least.
>>267325Well, I'm not going to shank their ass, but if they're a douche to me, yeah, I'ma be a douche right back. Otherwise, I try not to be senselessly mean to folks who don't fuck with me. Karma and all that.
>>267322I feel bad if I do anything wrong to anyone. It's just that sometimes I also feel good when I think they deserve it.
Bad is bad. The person and conditions don't matter.
>>267322What did you do?
All the time. I've unwittingly done some monstrous shit in my life. Stuff that keeps me up at night.
Nothing solidified for me the nature of 'social relativity', the concept that you can be eternally thought of as a dyed-in-the-wool devil one second to one person and an eternal savior the very next second to another person, than working retail.
I don't like being mean in a general sense. If the situation calls for it ill be assertive but rarely am I actually intentionally mean to someone. The few times I am stick with me and nag at my conscience so yeah, I do feel bad.
Not all faceless strangers are created equal. This question is impossible to answer except on a case by case scenario.
I am kept awake at night by the thought that I might have somehow inadvertently harmed some random stranger during the day. I need to harden up one of these days, or I'll never survive university.
>>267398Those strangers talked to me today. They said that they're big boys and girls and that there's no need to worry. They'll be fine. They're sorry for stressing you out.
A little, but it passes more quickly the longer I live. As for>KarmaA comforting notion, but a fleeting glance at world history or hell, even a newspaper should convince you it doesn't exist.
>>267403Most people don't understand Karma. It's determined by whether you feel like you've lived up to your duty, and it affects the next life. Anyway, no. I never know if I'll see a person again, besides. And if I do something wrong, it's usually either too petty to care about or justified on my side.
This is an interesting question to ask imageboard users since pointless dickery is so common among us. I personally don't give much thought to how I treat people on the *chans, but out in the physical world I try to be more courteous and understanding. Probably because the possibility of immediate punishment is scarier and more probable out there. So, I guess I only feel ashamed of acting like an asshole if it seems like bad shit might happen. And since I'm a coward, I feel that way a helluva more often than it seems I should.
Always.I think too much about it.SOMETIMES I WISH I COULD BE A BITCH WITHOUT FEELING BAD ABOUT IT LATER.Ah fuck it.
>>267404The fact that you can't remember what good or evil you did in your previous life kind of makes the whole concept of karma silly.
>>267428It's to get you to be good now for later rewards. Like rejoining the grand celestial oneness after doing enough good.>>267424You can be my bitch and I'll always make you feel good.
>>267429You'll have to get a cowboy hat and wear it all the time.
>>267430Done.
>>267432GET IN MY BED.NOW.
I feel bad when I do something wrong, period, even if it's an accident. If I do it to someone else I feel doubly worse.Once I opened my car door and hit this older lady's car with it. She was sitting in her car and said "thanks" and I, in a panic, said "no problem" as I walked away. It was a very assholish thing and I was determined to go back out to that car when I was finished shopping and apologize. Sadly, she was gone and I never got to apologize.
never.the only thing i ever regret about pissing off a stranger is not pissing them off enough
Like seeing a woman get gang raped and kind of saying "meh I don't want to get involved" and then walking away?Nope, never felt bad.
>>267433you're hard to please there, Jazz.
I usually feel bad after doing something wrong to a person I'll never see again in video games, let alone real life.I'm kind of a pussy I guess.
>>267464That is sad but adorable. I think Tiki has the same problem.
>>267466Me, Tiki, and Bones are the only decent people on plus4chan.
>>267466Yeah, I do.>>267537That's a little rough I think, tons more people here are great.
>>267537What about me? I feel the same way.
>>267542I don't know a damn thing about you. Sometimes you're nice, sometimes you troll, sometimes you say you're a man, sometimes you say you're a woman, sometimes you spam child porn, etc.It's like you're a million different people.
Once I fell asleep and missed some calls from people who were supposed to drop off a table at my place, and they had to just leave it in a random stairwell overnight. When I woke up and realized what I'd done, I got so nauseous I had to sit down to keep from throwing up on the spot.And that was for people I barely knew. People I knew I'd never see again? Fuck, I don't know what their day is like, how their life is going, or what they're feeling at the time. There's every chance they're feeling miserable as hell. There's no point in me adding to that needlessly. I make a habit of not doing wrong by anyone, and if by chance I do, I feel bad on principle regardless of whether I know them.
>>267573And I don't mean to say that I like to make myself feel bad. I see it as taking responsibility; I do my best to do no harm, and if by accident I hurt someone and can't help fix the problem, the least I can do is regret it.
