It's sociopathic to not feel guilty that you accidentally made rich people slightly less rich?

  Not because you made them slightly less rich, but because you did not help them make money when they trusted you with their money. But then i wouldn't call someone sociopath if they don't feel any guilt. After all we are not all wired the same way.

    But if it was an accident, there is no need to feel guilty.

      If you accidentally ran over a kid in the road would you feel guilt? If it was truly and accident and you were watching the road and going the speed limit.. sure - don't become an alcoholic over it. But I sure would feel guilty!!!! Now losing an investors money is a smaller offense to killing a kid, but it is still a "negative" event. Not sure accident or not matters, feeling guilt is natural. We need to acknowledge our feelings and move past them, not deny that they exist. I think guilt is a first step to reflection. Feel guilty. Reflect how you can do better next time. Then move on and do better next time. I think you should do this in either case (accidentally ran over a kid, or failed a startup)
