InformedIgnorance
Do you 'know' or believe?
Not 'sins' per se, however I do indeed consider that some of the things I have done have been 'wrong' in that they have caused negative outcomes for others which I have not sufficiently reddressed.
In such a circumstance, the first thing that happens is that I either consciously identify a directly attributable (to my action or inaction) negative outcome or unconsciously 'feel something is wrong,' I then attempt to determine if it was forseeable and a host of other factors to determine if I should feel responsible (other times I simply feel responsible even if there was nothing I could have done about it). Once I reach such a stage I will determine what I can do to prevent such a thing from occuring again and determine whether or not I SHOULD be forced to do so, for example if something resulted in extremely minor negative outcomes for others yet extremely major positive outcomes for myself (e.g. breathing decreases the amount of oxygen available to others, it also allows me to live - I elect to continue breathing). If I believe that the directly attributable negative outcomes need redressing, I will attempt to identify a strategy by which to do so, or if that is not possible, then to provide comparable positive outcomes to those particular stakeholders.
As for doing something which is wrong yet affects no one but myself? IMO there is no such thing; because to me, something being 'wrong' depends on there being someone who is directly effected by an objectively negative outcome - a stakeholder.
