Guilt


There is no greater motivator than guilt.  Guilt is greater than love, duty, honour, etc. put together. There is no act too great nor deed too base, that will be performed to eradicate this greatest of motivators. Ironically, it takes the smallest of transgressions from the aggrieved party for guilt to be released - one word in anger, one unfounded accusation, one perceived insult, one suicidal night of agony...anything!


Then, guilt is replaced by a moral high ground, indifference and a holier than thou attitude, and the aggrieved is now the guilty. The same people, the same situation, only their roles are swapped. C'est la vie.
