Why does being good feel so bad.

[HamburgerBoy]

I am not sure what that means. Please explain.

It is a well known fact that sufferers of acute kleptomania usually come from very poor backgrounds, usually large families with parents that can't support all the children. Nature has it that the offspring are resentful over their lack of physical possessions and feel that they are entitled to what is not really theirs. I don't want to sound demeaning as you've obviously come a long way from your background, being that you didn't just steal the iPad outright and without remorse, but I must be stern in emphasis that you do not fall into the same trappings that many others have. I know what it is like to spend your entire life fighting trauma and then have some unexpected event try to knock you back down. Stay strong.

Um, OK, thanks.

After I made my post I immediately began observing your profile to view your current activities, as the judge ordered me to. You were "viewing" this thread for significantly longer than my post should have merited, and for that matter, a reviewing of the entire thread. I know that you have more to say than those three words. You may not be ready to talk about it right now, but just remember that I want to help you, and that I'm there for you.

You're welcome, by the way.

LOL.

BTW, I can appear to be "viewing" the thread while in another room helping my kids get ready for bed.

But, again, um, thanks, I guess.

According to certain posters here, it's because you hate yourself.

That may be true, too.

Apple already stole this individuals hard earned money. I don't see how you would be any different in keeping it? If you wear a black turtleneck its OK to steal but otherwise its not? I don't get it.

it is surprising to me that you feel bad for doing the right thing.

Actually, I understand it, at least I can imagine feeling the same way. I don't think this problem is very unusual or strange. Read some Shakespeare or Dostoevsky, those guys were deep in human psychology, philosophy, etc.

You missed your calling, you should have been a priest, specifically a Catholic priest (aren't they the ones that take confession?). Or maybe you are, pardon me then. Or, if being in the clergy rubs you wrong, you could be a shrink, you just need to adjust your attitude some.
