Reactions

[net_warrior]

I was just thinking what a perfect reaction will be if you unknowingly hurt somebody. Though your intentions are good but the other person is hurt. Will it be guilty or will it be sorry or something else? The reaction will depend from person to person but what all reactions are possible?

Remorse. Guilt often implies intent. Being sorry seems to general.

[net_warrior]

Yes. Remorse, may be the one.

Being sorry seems to general.

that would be too general.

Can talk of mine.

If it is unintended act, I don't know about it and so there is no afterthoughts or remorse etc. If person brings this info to my notice, I may react based on my mood. I can be arrogant and continue teasing on the very same topic (and since it then becomes an intended torturing, there is no question of guilt or remorse ;). Otherwise I will say sorry. In worst case, may keep feeling sorry till I go to sleep. The next day, however, will be different. Every morning memory buffers are refreshed.

This is very true (in your case) ;). But some memory buffers cannot be refreshed for entire life span and they tend to prick you every now and then.

Then don't call it buffer. Call it hard disk. Hard disk is heavy, painful to carry along. People who carry it day in day out end up being tagged as emotionally weak or emotional fool.

If ur intentions are good then there is no question of being guilty or sorry. Just explain it properly and everything will be clear.

If a she, then I will take her out on coffee and speak the entire matter and convey her my stand.

If a he, I won't even care to think. :D
