Anything designed to be inoffensive isn't worth your time -- life itself is pretty offensive, ending as it does with death.

Guilt is a good friend, isn't it? It will stand at your back when every other friend has abandoned you, and in the face of all reason it will stay by your side, and even when you tell it, "I am moving on now," it will say, "I shall never leave you; never."
