Perhaps I wasn't clear. You can be taught to feel guilty for (say) eating
the wrong kinds of food together, or for looking at a pretty girl, or
something like that. The teacher doesn't have to be around to make you feel
guilty every time you look at a pretty girl. It's not confusing to you; you
just know it's wrong to look at pretty girls.
