I think that's what nihilism is about. If someone could actually completely clear themselves of any concept of good/bad, good/evil and so on, I'm sure at least it would be a very different way of living. I'm not going to presume to know whether it's possible or not though, and I have no interest in trying it.
rat: I disagree with you on guilt. Some people may use it as a way of rationalizing their own actions, but I certainly don't use it that way, and I believe many others do not either.
