I do not care what others feel, as I am not capable of feeling it myself.
    Right and wrong are simply the ethics of others, and they can and usually do vary with each individual. The ethics that the majority feel are right or wrong tend to be what is called the moral majority, and they set laws and standards. The reality is that there is no such thing as right or wrong. Just personal ethics. No here after, no heaven or hell, and we do not suffer for our deeds when we die. Adolf Hitler is dead. Flat out dead. He will not suffer punishment for his deeds on this earth, nor will anyone else. They simply die like the rest of us and the world continues to turn. They did no right or wrong, just deeds others felt might be wrong or right.
    This is also known in some circles as sociopathic or anti social behavior, those with no sense of remorse...social obligation or affiliation. That's what shame is, being held to account by your peers and society...only those who know right and wrong (in terms of socially acceptable behavioral) will feel shame. Who is a weaker person, the one who accepts responsibility for his actions or the one is incapable or unwilling to admit their mistake. A person who cannot admit shame is not weak, but overly proud...there in lies an even bigger weakness.
