How to use "Remorse" in context?
When you do something that you know is wrong, remorse is often the first emotion to overtake you. Guilt is usually a close second, and a sense of regret can be a predominant emotion. Regardless of how forcefully these other emotions may come, remorse will be central.
Remorse may be defined as an intense feeling of sadness, regret, and guilt that comes after you've done something wrong. The remorse you experience may be specific to the situation you were in when you violated the code of conduct, or it may be more general in nature. Regardless of the specifics, remorse is an incredibly important emotion to experience.
