Anytime we do something and lose our peace, it's a sign we have sinned. Say we are being unkind to someones in presence of others and feel bad about it afterwards. If it's because we realize that we have hurt the Lord, then it is all proper and good! But if it's because we feel that we have looked bad in the eyes of others, then it shows that we still have that ugly ego in us. Now we have another sin on us! In sum, we should only feel bad for having offended God and never mind what others think of us. If they think of us poorly, we deserve that.
