What do you think?"

I don't know if our nation will ever settle down unless it grows a backbone. We have let our young people go undisciplined all of their lives because you are not allowed to punish any more.

There was a time when I was sorely tempted to shake my fist at God and say "Why?"

"Prompt: At the end of the play Oedipus Rex, Oedipus blinds himself possibly out of guilt as he realizes he is the one who has bought ruin to Thebes. What do you think makes people punish themselves, knowingly or unknowingly? Is it always out of guilt feelings?"

Guilt plays a role. I believe however that some people like being punished even if they won't admit it.
