Over the years, I have become increasingly impressed by the significant role that guilt has played in my life and in the lives of those around me. I could say that, just as we say: We are our choices, it is worth adding: We are our guilt. Almost everyone feels guilty. More or less. The guilty one is the culprit, the actual culprit in something bad, but a guilty person is the one who feels guilty regardless of reality.

There are justified guilt and vain guilt, which unjustly gnaw at your soul, your decisions, your relationships, especially your relationships, and your self-awareness. They affect mental health and physical health as a consequence. The more innocent and pure one is, the less guilt is present in their conscience.

Is the guilty person therefore sinful? Is he at fault and does he pay? No, of course, the guilty person is not necessarily culpable and at fault. Often, they are a tormented person, a victim. An abused child at any age. Even at ninety!
