Pure excuse. Just makes things worse. Same as sending 100 USD to children of Africa just to bribe ourselves.
And yes, I feel guilty. What we do is evil. Most of human action is evil. The biggest evil is trying to stay pure with excuses. Those who deny it have the feeling too, they just do not know about it. I am sure.
We still live in a jungle, eat or be eaten. Just the human brain is too big.
Now in the post-christian era everything is confused. Christianity had cure for guilt. True Christianity was not orthodox and strict. It was forgiving that everybody needs. Because living means most of the time doing horrible things to other people that are more or less percieved as "me".
But we are atheists, who think that Christians are hypocrites (yes they are too). But without Christianity, thatlost credit, we are lost in the confusing world.
So for me it is that I feel guilt. The work is **** (I mean I quite enjoy things about traffic, Google, I can work with my people or people outside, but to feel the stupid lazy gamblers with their pitiful livesis the worst part). I feel like drug dealer. But I am fine with that. Someone has to do the job. Iam not complaining like many other affiliates, who dream about making big money and then switch to something more human or reasonable. That would be real excuse for me.
There is nothing wrong with feeling guilt or feeling myself as bad person. Actually I am always happy when I can feel it a bit deeper than now, when just describing that. It is childish to reduce people or self to good or bad. People are both and they are both in extremes. Just our brain wants to see things and people black and white and we want to interpret ourselves as good only and for that crusade we do the real atrocities.
There is a very good movie about guilt and the crusade for "real, good life" and consequences of that: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0209144/
Slavoj Zizek (the guy of my avatar here) talks about this all the time too. It amazes me still that those things are not obvious to people involved in gambling.
We are all bloodsucking ticks, hungry, devious
each one latched on to the ass of the previous
when the last and the first latch on it can be shown
ass-blood sucked by the first from the last is his own
