Do you feel guilty when you profit, market, or make money?

Call me crazy, but I got a sinking feeling that if I try to profit or do any marketing, i'd be taking money out of people's wallets, and i'd feel guilty about doing it. Let's face it. People need money, but when people make money, they feel a type of guilt, as if your conscience is telling you that profiting or marketing is like stealing money from other people's wallets. Did anyone feel the same way, and did you have to jump through any long hoops to put money in your pocket?

I am happy everytime I make money. There is no need to feel guilty if you have not done anything wrong. You must have joined some programs and you paid money, did the guy you bought from feel guilty to take your money? I dont think so. You should be happy if you make a sale or make money....you worked for it so its rightfully yours!

I don't feel guilt when I profit or make money. The only time you should feel guilty is when you did something wrong to earn taht money, such as ripped someone off or lied about something you were selling. I believe and honest person making money is the way of the world and the only reason for guilt is if you are doing something dishonest.
